What could illness could I have?

Question

I got sick a few weeks ago. They never really determined what I had, some sort of viral infection. They gave me medicine, and it got better, but now I'm having the same symptoms again.

My symptoms include:

[ off and on ]

[x]numbness/tingling in hands/feet/face
[x]pure exhauston
[x]headache
[x]weak
[x]light-headed
[x]dizziness

I've been eating like a normal person. I've checked my blood sugar and it's fine. Usually, when I eat, I don't feel as tired, but the numbness/tingling countinues. It's not constant exhaustion, but it's happening more often than not. I've been going to bed at 11 and getting up at 6.

Any advice?

I plan on going to the doctor sometime this week.
I usually go to CareNow, so I have to find a doctor.


they checked me for mono, twice. both times, test showed negative

I've never used diet drugs.

About a year ago, I had an eating disorder, but I haven't starved myself or made myself throw up in at least six months.

My tougne is not burning, but it feels really raw, like I ate something hot, but I don't remember burning my tougne.

I went to the doctor for a total CBC, a check of my thriod, and a glucose test.
I should get the results back soon.

Answer 1

Have them check your blood for heavy metals. (lead, Iron, etc)

Answer 2

It sounds to me like you have pernicious anemia. It's very common and doctors easily don't recognize it for some reason.
The cause is due to a lack of folic(folate) acid.

If your tongue burns, that is what it is. You find it mostly in spinach or any other dark green leafy vegetable. You would also want to take folate tablets, (folic Acid) as a supplement. You find them in the vitamin aisle.

If your tongue doesn't burn, you might be feeling the side effects of a medication you're taking.

The two causes I just gave are the most common.
Don't worry. These symptoms are awfully scary but rarely fatal.

Yes. Please see your doctor just in case.
Good luck, sweet pea and don't worry.

Answer 3

I don't know if this has anything to do with it..but those are my anxiety symptoms. The tingling is lack of oxygen. The upset stomach is nervous. Headaches is Stress. Exausted because your when you have anxiety your burning more calories and wearing yourself out.

But this is just my own experience. Maybe you can combined it with what someone else has to say here but I have no idea what is your illness since that wasn't much info to go on and I don't know you

Answer 4

High blood pressure, let me ask, have you been using anything with ephedra in it? I took some diet/energy pills and had all the same symptoms. Stopped taking them immediately because it was making my normal to low blood pressure go sky high. Also does sound like annemia. I am severly anemic and during my pregnancy I would actually pass out because my iron levels would bottom out so bad. Deffinately make sure you go to the doctor sounds like it needs the correct diagnosis a.s.a.p. Also sounds like a possible allergic reaction to something.
