What Is That Sound Ringing In My Ears?
I fell asleep last night with a heating pad on my chest as I am recovering from pleurisy. I woke up sweating worse than ever before and almost fainted. This lasted for several minutes. I also ringing in my ears. Can it be that the heating pad raised my body temp too high?
