Why Am I Experiencing Dizziness With Cold Shaky Feeling?
Hi, I ve been getting freezing cold shake attacks where I can not even move. It paralyzes me and makes my teeth shatter . I feel like I m gonna die. I also experience dizziness and when I get up I feel like I m gonna black out. I have to struggle with my eyes to keep them open while talking myself out of passing out... What is wrong with me please help

Hello !
I understand your concern .
I would like to know more about your age and the duration and frequency of these attacks.
In my opinion the experience of dizziness that aggravates when you get up may be related to hypotension.
The cold shake attaks may be a disorder called Epilepsy, although not very typical .
You need to see a doctor, have a physical examination.
An EEG would be helpful to rule out Epilepsy, followed by a brain CT scan if its not normal.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Thank you for using HCM!
