A: The Sweating Sickness Returns Anne Boleyn, although unable to survive her marriage to Henry VIII, was rumored to have resisted the onslaught of another sixteenth- century scourge: Sudor Anglicus, or English sweating sickness.

This frequently fatal disease caused fever, profuse sweating, headaches, and extreme shortness of breath. Death usually came quickly. It killed some within three hours, wrote one Tudor chronicler. Some within two hours, some merry at dinner and dead at supper. Medical historians have never known what caused the sweating sickness. That the disease was neither plague nor typhus was clear...

A: wvgal, Not really much to go on there with just ''profuse Sweating''. There must be some other symptoms too? Fatigue? Aches? Pains? Memory probs maybe? what types of test results? Do they show normal results? Th1 inflammation can cause heavy sweating (since the bacteria that cause it like to live in sweat glands as much as any other place). Dr. Marshall (on MP fame) had said that he had such bad sweating he had taken to wearing hiking undergarments that wick away sweat from the body -- and still was going thru a pair of pants every month -- they would just rot away. That''s what i would call sweatin! How bad are your husband''s symptoms ? Send a little more info this way ... jim Wvgal, I noticed on...

A: Green, Firstly, I fully believe what you tell me. If I went around not believeing my patients all the time, I"d really be in trouble because they would never get treated accordingly.

You may have a cardiac defect, such as an occasional irregular rhythm, that causes your blood flow to decrease thereby causing many of the symptoms you have listed. When the brain becomes deprived of oxygen, which happens when blood flow is decreased, it can play any number of tricks on you; your heart rate can incerase to compensate, and it will palpitate. You will feel dizzy, restless, will sweat alot, and will be irritable. I know you mentioned you don"t feel dizzy,...
