I have started sweating after eating. Anyone else?

I've had my fair share of illness and diagnosis in my life. Sadly things are not getting better.
Here's the shorter version of my story.
I'm adopted and recently found my birth mom. I've been diagnosed with medical issues throughout my life that puzzle doctors. They have become more and more severe to me but all the doctors I've seen don't have many answers. It's not an easy thing to digest when it is effecting my daily living and mental health. When I found my birth mom this year I asked her for my family health history. I knew some but not much. I knew I was premature weighing almost 3lbs. with cardiac issues, seizures, and cyanotic spells, neonatal hypoglycemia, anima and my metrobolic screening at birth showed TSH 15.1 and T4 at 4.0 . I'm currently experiencing all of the same thyroid symptoms. I don't know what long term effects since. She wasn't diagnosed after I was delivered @ 34weeks gastational C-section. The symptoms started off slow getting sick not having a good immune system (teenager) to ENT allergies, endometriosis, IBS, but now 20yrs later I start having daily dizzy/faint episodes (on days some off days for 8 or so months straight) followed by hypertension, EOE- trouble swollowing , heart racing /chest aches, I'm now pre-diabetic and lots of pain. Rashes appear on my back sometimes , temperature change turns my skin blue, I'm always cold, my hands and feet turn numb/tingling sometimes, severe constipation, fatigue, nerve/muscle aches, Back and pelvic pain. I'm getting nauseous out of nowhere. It doesn't end. IT REALLY DOESN'T!! I'm a lot weaker and I'm only 38. My chest pain and dramatic weight loss is the most concerning right now. I lost 20 pounds since January with no diet changes. I can't get a doctor to understand my concerns due to my symptoms, my birth medical history and the recent news of my birth mom being pregnant with me while she had
graves disease. while she was pregnant with me that it could maybe related. Can the symptoms be starting to effect me more as I'm get older? Thyroid blood tests are still normal. Any help or advice I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hello @summer83 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. First, congratulations on finding your birth mom! I am sure it has been extremely helpful to have her to answer in your life to navigate family health history given the myriad of things you have had plague you.

That said, I am wondering if you have taken this new wealth of information into an appointment with a doctor to see if that helps in better identifying a diagnosis? Also, have you also been sweating after eating like others in this discussion?

Thank you Amanda for your response. I've been trying to discuss and inform them on everything. With so much going on and different things developing at the same time I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface and getting much accomplished from the time it starts and finishes. she's not taking any notes or documenting the things that I talk to her about. I believe she wants to help but this is too complicated and shes at a loss of what to do next. She does have a lot going on being that we are still in the middle of this pandemic. I feel for you guys! It seems like once I developed more symptoms it's just hard to keep up with it all. It always seems like the thing I had going on a few weeks ago or by the time I get to the doctor to be seen for it something else has taken its place and gears shift to that symptom or systems instead. I did bring my birth records in to my appointment to show her the diagnosis given to me at at birth and I was pretty hurt when I felt she made no attempt to look it over . In addition to the birth effects I had with what I believe is related to my mother's illness at birth (Graves disease ) . She was very young, 18 when she had me.
She was struggling with eating disorders while pregnant with me. Smoked and drank.
was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus recently and I'm not getting regularly checked besides when I was in the Er a week ago they did a glucose test and it was on the high end. I had a follow up with my primary the very next day and wasn't concerned it was a problem when I brought it up. Or the platelets on the higher end. Another thing I thought didn't seem right but I could be wrong, I was experiencing pain the other day for about 3 days in a row feeling pressure in my bladder and intense pelvic pain usually on the right in the pelvic/ groin area. The pain wrapped around to the lower middle of my back and it felt like when I stood up sat down or straightened my back I would have these severe muscle spasms. It's been normal for me to get these during the night I'll wake up in pain in the middle of the night. When I get out of bed or flip over I get muscles spasms in like the arch of my back or lower buttocks area.. after walking around it usually is better.
Anyways another test I'm not quite understanding that they did the other day is, I had a urine test done and the results back showed a trace of "rare" bacteria I asked her about that. she said she wasn't worried that just meant very little however I wanted to look into it more so I went back on the graph results from all of my urine tests in the past since 2012 and they have all showed bacteria that either said "rare" or few seen. I think there was a Total of 9 urine tests showing that. Is that normal? Anyways I'll get to the original question you asked me now.

After eating I don't seem to notice sweating however I do get a lot of cold sweats at night. I'm usually always cold. I do get sweats out of the blue during the day sometimes but I don't think it has anything to do with after eating. But about15 or 20 minutes after eating I noticed the pain I described before in my abdomen chest and back. a lot of rumbling and a lot of gas. I am realizing because of the severity of issues going on with me now and the dramatic weight loss and weakness, pain and now diabetes mellitus, that probably should be monitored better or on some short of treatment plan.
I need to find a doctor that better fits me for the things going in. I live in Madison Wisconsin. If anyone knows any doctors that could help me I'd take any recommendations. Thanks so much!

I am 56 years old an had Bariatric surgery about 7 years ago and am having the exact same symptoms as you do. It’s not menopause, or Fry’s syndrome - and it’s druving me crazy. I don’t eat warm food. I just don’t. Let me know if the GI gives you an answer and I shall go seek an answer from mine. I think the bariatric surgery has to play a role.

Hi Gail @gailb

I'm sorry to hear of this flushing after you eat, this sounds very uncomfortable. Is the flushing primarily in your face or is it an overall body hot flash? Do you have any other symptoms like diarrhea, etc.?

Have you talked with a GI doctor about these symptoms? If not, I would encourage you to do so.
