Agree with one poster, could it be menopause. Even if young you can be pre-menopausal. A blood test will determine that. \n\nWhat is your salt intake?  The body gets rid of salt thru prespiration.\n\nRead following article from WEBMD.COM:\nHeavy Sweating\n\nWhy do I sweat so much? By Lewis P. Stolman, MD\n  \n\n\n\n\nNov. 6, 2000 -- The problem you describe is called hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. And yes, there's lots you can do. \n\n\nSweating, of course, is perfectly normal. It's one way the body maintains its temperature. We sweat when it's hot or when we've been exercising vigorously. And when the moisture produced by perspiration evaporates, it cools the skin, and therefore the core temperature of the body. \n\n\nBut sometimes this nifty system goes awry. As many as one in 100 people suffer the kind of problem you're having: When they're under stress, the sweat starts flowing, usually on the palms, soles, face, and armpits. \n\n\nFor whatever reason, some people can undergo extreme stress and not sweat at all. Others find themselves drenched in perspiration from just having to say a few words at a meeting. We don't really understand why one person's threshold for sweating is different from another's. But we do know that the tendency to sweat under stress sometimes runs in families. \n\n\nIf you find yourself sweating all the time, and all over -- not just on your palms, soles, and underarms -- it may be a sign of a serious illness like tuberculosis, some kind of cancer, or thyroid disease. Talk to a doctor immediately. \n\n\nFortunately, most people who sweat heavily under stress aren't in any danger. But they may feel quite embarrassed, and the problem can get in the way of their careers. I've treated artists who can't work because their palms get too sweaty and musicians who have trouble playing their instruments. \n\n\nHow do you stop it? The simplest remedy is an antiperspirant, which can be used on hands and feet as well as in the underarm area. Over-the-counter versions work well. If these don't prove strong enough, you can ask your doctor for a prescription-strength version. And if that doesn't help, your doctor may suggest a tranquilizer (such as Valium) for those special occasions when you know you're likely to be extra nervous -- a job interview, some kind of public speaking, or even a first date. \n\n\nIn particularly stubborn cases, we may have to try other approaches. One option is surgery to remove sweat glands in the affected area. Another is to inject small amounts of Botox -- botulinum toxin -- to block the nerves that trigger sweat glands. This treatment must be repeated every 6 to 8 months, however, and the injections can be painful, especially in the palms and feet. Finally, if all else fails for sweaty hands, a surgical procedure may be performed to sever the nerves to the affected sweat glands. However, this is a serious operation that carries with it the risk of complications. \n\n\nIn my experience, the simplest and most cost-effective way to turn off the faucet is a treatment called iontophoresis. This involves applying a low-level electrical current to the affected area, which essentially blocks the sweat duct. For many patients, a one-time treatment may control excessive sweating for good. \n\n\nThe bottom line: Don't worry too much if stress leaves you with sweaty palms and damp circles under your arms. Make the right moves and you can stay dry. You shouldn't have to sweat it forever. \n\n\nLewis P. Stolman, MD, is associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and a member of the Dermatology and Laser Center of Northern New Jersey. He recently published a review of treatments for hyperhidrosis in the journal Dermatologic Clinics, October 1998.

Does your heart beat funny for a second or two?  If so, I get that.  It's related to anxiety and stress.  I also got it a lot when I smoked or drank caffeine.  Call your doc and make sure it's nothing serious though.

If you're really tired the next morning, that probably means you're not getting past that "dozing off" stage into the "deep sleep" stage where most of your mind's rejuvenating takes place.  If you're really hot, that's scary.  If this just started happening, maybe you just have a fever or something, but if it's been happening for a long time, you should see someone about it.

Does it occur often?? if it does, you need to consult the doctor. Try also elevating your legs, so the blood can circulate well, it is preferrable to do it when resting or sleeping.

Gonna have to go to the doc for this one, Hon.  It could be a couple of things.  Maybe, an inner ear infection.  And you would need antibiotics.

I wonder what volume you play your music.. may be the factor..Causes considerable irritation to the nerves you mention with your symptoms.. suggesting you are having a problem that us sub acute and the stress of the music takes it into the acute state.

dehydration causes this sometimes, high blood pressure triggers fast pulse too, get your blood pressure checked and drink some electrolytes!

You probbably have some water in your ear,if so put some perioxide in it, lay your head on the floor flat and then get up after you can no longer hear the noise.If this is not it it could be tinnitus, the cause is "palatal myoclonus" A muscle spasm in the palate is wiggling the eustachian tubes from the mouth end, and you hear a sound at the ear end when the tubes open. \nhope it helps you:)

it could be the pressure, but that is doubtful, unless you have an imballance in your inner ear, which should pressurize naturally.\n\nmore likely, it is dehidration that is causing the headache.  when it is humid, you drink less, but your body is evaproating more.

It happens when you press the blood vessels and the blood supply is cut off momentarily. Better keep your hands free and do not put pressure on them by putting it under your head or keeping them hard pressed between your thights etc. More suggestions only if you can tell which way you sleep. \n\nIf it persists, consult a physician
