Feeling bleh. Diagnosis?
So, I woke up (after about 6 hours of sleep) with my head swimming as I tried to look around the room. The lovely radiators had been on all night regardless of the recent "warm" weather (45 degrees outside!), so it was over 80 degrees inside, and I'd been sleeping in a sweatshirt and fleece pants. My forehead was vaguely clammy and my temperature was 97.2 degrees (slightly warm for me, I think, as I've measured in the 96's some of the other times I've checked).
Sitting up in the bathroom (which had a window cracked open all night, so it was a little cooler) helped slightly, but not a lot. I feel a vague nausea associated with motion or standing, but not anything that suggests a problem with digestion. I've opened some other windows, turned on the A/C, and drunk some water.
I don't think I could completely dehydrate overnight, since I drank quite a bit in the last half of yesterday (drinking fountain after swimming, water and half a bottle of raspberry-acai juice with dinner, then at Nana's birthday shindig, one glass of dessert wine, one glass of milk, and several glasses of water). I also had a number of cookies/banana bread pieces/brownies at Nana's, following my dinner of restaurant leftovers, but I doubt that has any bearing on this.
Scary things I have "tested" for:
Meningitis: I can touch my chin to my chest without a problem, and I got vaccinated before college.
Carbon monoxide poisoning: The carbon monoxide tester in the kitchen blinks its "I'm on" light every once in a while, and it beeped when I pressed the "test" button. Not a gas leak, either, as both pilot lights below the stove burners are lit, and the apartment doesn't smell like anything. I woke up Miao, but she's feeling OK.
My room's down to about 70 degrees, and I'm starting to feel cold (having changed clothes at the beginning of this). I'm tired, and still feel vaguely brain-function-impaired, but if I move my eyes around the room, they now register my new focus immediately, instead of loopily sliding away. I might have a slight headache now. I don't think that the traffic outside was any louder than usual (I didn't notice it once I was awake, and it's completely blocked out by the A/C). I think my thoughts have been coherent throughout (I started this logical-diagnosis game as soon as I woke up), but if this post is scarily non-grammatical when you read it, then please let me know.
My current guess is that I got too hot overnight, which I've hopefully addressed. I'll try turning off the A/C (but leaving the fan on) and going back to sleep. Still, I'd appreciate any suggestions of what might be wrong, as well as advice on what to do and what to avoid.
