The other night I went to the pub, as usual. I usually have just one small white wine spritzer and the rest soft drinks - never a big drinker. The other night I had a medium white wine with lemonade. We decided to have a Chinese takeaway and I had sweet and sour with prawns and egg fried rice.
Just after I ate I realised I had not taken my Vitamin C and zine and an iron tablet so I took them. Within half an hour I started to feel very cold, although the temperature in the house was warm. My teeth chattered uncontrollably and my upper body started trembling. It also felt like my body was just somehow generally twitchy inside.
My hands were cold, very unusual for me. Then the shivers spread all through my arms and torso. The trembling really was quite violent - couldn't hold a glass of water or type. I decided to drink lots of water. After about 15 minutes the shivering stopped.
But about ten minutes later it started all over again.
The third and last time it happened the cold spread down to my legs. I decided(don't know why) some simple protein may help so I hard-boiled an egg.
I had no pain or any other symptoms and am fine now.
I have noticed on previous occasions I have felt slightly twitchy somehow after a Chinese takeaway and it made my heart a bit erratic. My heartbeat was slightly erratic this time but with this other shivering.
I haven't had Chinese takeaway for a long time and I literally didn't remember how it had affected me before - I won't have it again.
Does anyone have any idea what it could all be about?
