Hello, I've checked other posts and found nothing that could help. I am not being treated with anything at the time. Going to new LLMD at the end of the month. I will hope to get some answers when I meet him, however, feeling very light headed, dizzy and sweating a lot. Has anyone experienced any of these symptoms?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Increased sweating from a coinfection can cause your electrolytes to get all messed up.
Can you try drinking some unsweetened coconut water?
It has electrolytes and is chemical and dye free, unlike Gatorade or powerade which are full of chemicals.
Also, drinking homemade chicken or beef broth is a good way to get minerals and salt into your body without burdening your digestive system.
It is amazing how much salt we lose from sweating. Posts: 4358 | From British Columbia, Canada | Registered: Jun 2013

I forgot to add the important part... That dizziness and lightheadedness could be from all the sweating.
Also sometimes eating smaller more frequent meals helps.

Rx route:
vestibular suppression - from different aspects =
Klonopin, Ativan, Zofran, Xanax.
SOME people need more serotonin to counter the rush of dopamine, NE, and E.
Try PLP (active B6) - 50mg with 100mg of 5HT3.
When sweating a lot...need more sodium.
This is why they give soldiers stationed in hot humid places - salt pills.
BUT...backing up...excess glutamate is the trigger...opens Na channels -> problems...serious ones.
Converting glutamate (accelerator) to GABA (brake) via PLP (B6) is helpful.
Increasing serotonin (Zofran is a 5HT3 receptor antagonist = raises serotonin levels) helps too. Serotonin is anti-inflammatory.
Trivia: Zofran is given post op to persons shivering (chills) as the 5HT3 receptor it is believed, is involved with thermoregulation. It is also given for hyperemesis during pregnancy (I know...my daughter).
While, years ago...I took Bendectin for N/V when pregnant with her. It is a H1 (histamine) blocker and contained B6. Oddly, it does NOT make the person sleepy like the H1 blocker Benadryl does.
Ginger is another thing that helps with N/V and it is as good as B6...PubMed.
The way it works is this:
it inhibits proinflammatory PDE4 and increases cAMP levels.
Neurobiology says: "To sleep perchance to cAMP."
Google: ginger PDE4
Helps with asthma too.
