At 3 am this morning I was woken up to use the restroom (I had to poop). As I was using the bathroom I started sweating. Don t know if I was hot or if it was cold sweats. As this happened. My arms got tingling and I felt like I was going to pass out. I also felt nauseated. This lasted about 10 minutes. Then I felt a little better. Got up at 5 to go to work. While at work I didn t feel so hot. Not nauseated. Or like headache. I can t explain how I felt. I just felt off. Not quite right. This lasted till about 1/2 this afternoon. I feel ok now.
I'm sorry to hear about your ordeal. Tingling in the arms can come from multiple causes: cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck), peripheral neuropathy (typically related to diabetes, AIDS, or alcoholism), or from peripheral nerve compression (sleeping in a strange position or on an extremity). In your case with the constellation of symptoms you felt it is likely you may have had a vasovagal reaction from using the washroom. This type of reaction can occur when you strain and increase the tone to a nerve called the legal nerve. Typically, this causes sweating, nausea, and an uneasy feeling like you described. I'm glad the symptoms dissipated and hopefully this will not occur again. If the symptoms do return it is best to see your physician for a thorough physical exam. I hope this answer helps.
