    So last friday night I was driving to my girlfriends parents after my class and I started getting hot, I was only wearing a tshirt and it wasnt warm out at the time but I turned off the seat heaters and turned the temperature in the car down. I kept getting warmer so I cracked the window open and started getting very jittery and anxious, by this time I had all the windows down and the moonroof open all the way and was sweating like I was in a sauna (it was about 40 deg f outside.) So Im starting to freak out at this time from the sudden hyperness and overall anxiety that came out of nowhere and I get to their house and get out and am shaking so bad I have a hard time hitting the remote to lock the door. I get inside and theres a note telling me that they will be back soon and theres a plate in the fridge for me. I have a hard time getting the plate from the fridge to the microwave because Im shaking so bad at this point and even a worse time pouring a glass of milk. So as I ate all the symptoms went away and now Im worried it could happen agian.

    Was it from not eating soon enough, it was around 9pm and the last time I ate was 11am so thats probably a factor. Basicaly what Im asking is if there is something wrong with me and is it worth a doctors visit?

    I would visit a doctor about that probably. I would also do some research on the internet, there's good sites that you can go on where you just select your symptoms and than it asks you a series of questions to give you an idea of what could possibly be going on.

    I get the same thing relatively frequently when I haven't been eating. I honestly dunno if it's anything serious, might be a good idea to get it checked out if it continues.

    Probably due to lack of food, but the internal heat wave certainly sounds odd. Then again, I've gone for quite a bit longer than that without food without getting symptoms nearly that bad. I'd suggest getting it checked out, and quickly recognizing that this is a fourm full of geeks, not doctors ;)

    I have the same symptoms from a lack of food, as do a few other members of my family. As firehed said, get it checked out, it might be simple, but you don't want to take any risks!

    Extreme low blood sugar, I get it all the time after 10-15 mile runs.

    Low blood sugar, stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, eating the wrong thing?

    Could be something along the lines of hypoglycemia. Friend of mine has it.

    Go to a doctor. Please please please don't take any 'medical advice' from anyone on the internet ;)
