3-4 am night sweats + elevated heart rate

Hi,

I'm terribly cold all day long, but every morning, between 3 and 4 am, I wake up, feeling all hot, drenched in sweat, with an elevated heart rate. (we sleep in a non-heated room, with open doors)

I need to cool down for about 1/2 hour, sometimes longer and take antihistamine to make my heart go slower. It's been going on for 4 weeks now, really tiring when I need to go to work.

I had this before, rather long ago, and years ago, my accupunturist told me it's the specific time of day when your liver reacts when it's getting a hard time (or something like that). Does anyone know more about this and how to handle it? I have night sweats since years, but this is each morning, at the exact time.

Thanks!

I'm getting treated for Bartonella (Tetralysal + Rifampycine, but now the Rif was replaced by Azythr. for 2 months because I complained to my Dr about coughing a lot). He also tested me for Mycoplasma.

I have an appointment with my Dr next Monday... he follows ILADS protocol.

Oh yes, forgot to add, I got up and took my temperature this morning: 97°F

When I'm on Azythr. I feel like I'm 90 years old... Over a year ago, my Dr put me on it (I think partly to test me for a reaction) for 4 weeks, I felt like I was dying. At that time, I never heard of a Herxheimer reaction, I felt so lost... I have so many other symptoms for Bartonella that he was convinced I had it, although the test came back negative. He retested a few times, and the last test came back positive.

I started with Azythr + levaquin + monocyline, but it was too hard to handle. I had diarrhoea for 6 weeks, felt like vomitting all day long for 6 weeks, so I had to stop and switch to Tetralysal + Rifampycine. Now Rif temporarely replaced by Azythr. (but only 300mg 3 days/week) - my whole body hurts like hell, severe brain fog, headaches, etc, but no more diarrhoea or extreme nausea.

 

I so feel your pain. At the height of my Babeisia/Lyme treatment I had to change my nightshirt twice each night. It felt like I was burning from the inside out. My entire body would flush red, primarly my face and arms. It was horrible.

Check ur temperature twice a day and record it. For six months my temp was 97 in the morning and 101.5 at night. FOR SIX MONTH. It was hell. This is a classic sign of Babeisos.

One month of Mepron plus Zithromax, then another month of Mepron plus Ketek and they slowly went away. Note that Ketek can be very damaging to the liver and frequent blood tests are needed.
