Mornin...well, it's almost still morning.

I got up this morning and before I could fix a cup of coffee (two minutes maybe), I became so hot I couldn't breath. You can hang meat in this house, especially in the early morning, and I was sweating all over. I went to the bathroom to get a cold wet wash cloth and really thought I wasn't going to make it back to the kitchen, my knees felt funny somehow.
I sat down in the living room with the wash cloth on the back of my neck and that's when it hit me. Just like night and day, I could breath again, but my head has NEVER hurt like this before. It felt like someone was right in the middle with a screw driver and twisting. I thought about high blood pressure and the head aches and the pain kept escalating...it was the weirdest thing...never had anything like this except a plain hot flash, but not the weak legs or pain in the head...
Every time the kids made one little sound it felt like it was amplified and when the sun started coming up, it blinded me.
I went back to bed for a while and it's not so bad now, but I am sore all over like I've been in a fight or out dancing all night long with a hang over. But, compared to this morning, now is nothing.
Has this ever happened to you? I just had a physical in June. My blood pressure and all is okay, and I had that three hour glucose tolerance test (normal).
Thanks for any ideas.
