Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a participant's health concerns, specifically experiencing excessive sweating at night, headaches, and feelings of sluggishness. The context includes personal health history, medication use, and the potential for an underlying condition related to endometriosis.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Health-related

Main Points Raised

  • A participant reports severe night sweating, headaches, and sluggishness, expressing uncertainty about the cause and mentioning ongoing pain management with Talwin.
  • Some participants suggest seeking medical advice but refrain from providing diagnoses, emphasizing the importance of consulting a doctor.
  • One participant highlights the side effects of Talwin, noting that sweating and headaches are listed among common side effects, which may be relevant to the reported symptoms.
  • Another participant encourages seeking a second opinion if the current doctor is not addressing the concerns adequately.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for medical consultation but do not reach a consensus on the cause of the symptoms or the role of the medication.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the lack of medical diagnoses and the reliance on personal accounts of symptoms and medication side effects. The discussion does not resolve the underlying health issue or the impact of the medication.

Hello,
I need help, for the past week everytime I go to sleep I am sweating so bad that I have to change my clothes...I have a fan in my room and no heat on. I am sweating from the back of my neck, my breats and my arms legs etc.. then when I get up always at approx 2am, I have a headach and the next day and very sluggish and don't want to do anything. I have looked this up myself and I don't know what it is. I am only 33 year old female.
I am awaiting a surgery to see if I have endemetriosis.. however this just started and I am on pain management on Talwin everyday(not sure if this has an effect?) but I have been on that for about a month now.

Any suggestions would be helpful

Here's the side effects:

Side Effects of Talwin - for the Consumer
Talwin Nx
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Talwin Nx:

Constipation; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; flushing; headache; loss of appetite; nausea; sleeplessness; sweating; vomiting; weakness.

Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Talwin Nx:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); anxiety or nervousness; blurred vision or difficulty focusing your eyes; confusion; decreased urination; disorientation; fainting; fast heartbeat; fever, chills, or persistent sore throat; hallucination; mental or mood changes (eg, depression); red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin; seizures; slow or shallow breathing.

Other than that you won't find a diagnosis here, there are policies against that.

See another doctor if you think the one you are seeing is wrong.
