Wake At Night Due To Hot, Later Feel Cold And Shake Uncontrollably, Get Excessive Thirst. Possible Causes?

Hi I ve been waking in the night to being hot and then cold and then my body shakes uncontrollably. I also feel thirsty and will drink like 24 oz of water before I can calm it down and even then i still feel shakes come in waves and like I have to concentrate on my breathing . I thought maybe it was low blood sugar so I eat some crackers too, but really I just wait till it goes away. YYYY@YYYY

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Shivers and sweating at night is obviously not normal, and usually indicates an infective disease. Examples of these are Tuberculosis and Malaria. It is important to see a doctor for a medical screen, I suggest this includes blood tests and a chest x-ray to exclude any infection,specifically of the lung.
