I am 20, female, in college and i work part time. In the past 2 months, i have gained over 25 lbs. I have always been a healthy, skinny girl, mostly from genetics. I dont work out too much, but i try to eat healthy. Not only have i gained so much weight, i have had constant headaches that get so bad that i get nausous, diahrea, and start feeling jittery. I have had to leave school to go home because of my headaches. I crave food constantly, mostly chocolate and any kind of beef. I never feel like i am full, and when i do get stuffed, within an hour i feel starved again. I make myself wait till breakfast, lunch and dinner to eat, but when it gets close to the hour, I start feeling extremely dizzy, and my headache is much more severe than it was before.
My mother seems to think its just depression, Depression does run in my family, and i was recently taken off of Lexapro. I do not think i am depressed anymore. My life is good! I just wish i didnt feel so sick all the time!
Please help. What to you incourage me to do? My roommate thought i was hypoglycemic because i passed out with her once while we were grocery shopping and she is hypoglycemic. She tested my bloodsugar right there, and told me i should see the doctor. My doctor gave me a glucose tolerance blood test and it came back normal. Should i go in and get full bloodwork done? Somebody told me False negatives happen alot. Please help me feel better! I really want to make these headaches stop!
