    Suddenly woke up feeling ill
    Hey. I'm a bit worried and dont know what to do. Was wondering if anyone else has had this before. its the 2nd time its happened to me in the last 8 weeks.

    I went to sleep at 10. Than just before midnight I woke up feeling very unwell. I felt like you do when you're about to/have just fainted. Very weak and dizzy and not really all there.It wasnt going away so I managed to get up and eat some sugary biscuits. That was 10 mins ago. I'm now feeling very shakey and my body is very weak and i'm short of breath. I really dont like this feeling an want to know what it is. I fainted last friday too - have a fainted in my sleep?

    Sometimes I feel similar if I've got a cold or virus but GP is the best bet.

    Sounds like what happens to me when I have a hypo (low blood sugar) during the night. Go and see about this asap.
