Constant lightheadedness, weight gain, tiredness?

Question

Hi there. I had constant lightheadedness. I've tried changing position carefully, but its still there when I stand up. I walk, its there, at work, its there. Even sitting here I can feel it a little. I just feel really imbalanced as opposed to like I'm going to faint. I sleep well enough, I eat regularly. Not diabetic, dont think Im anaemic. As for the weight gain, in the past two months I have gained a good 20 pounds. My diet hasnt changed, nor has my exercise- if anything Im doing more exercise. Also I'm constantly tired, even though Im getting 10 hours sleep a night. Im not pregnant. My cycle is usually bang on, but its been a bit strange the past few months- coming early, spotting inbetween. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

A lot of what you described can be linked to your rest and eating. But since you said it is normal... it sounds a little suspicious. And the fact that you gained 20 pounds in 2 months may be normal, but in any case, you should check out wether it is a sign of hypothyroidism or not.

An imbalanced in thyroid hormone may cause the symptoms which you just described. Any tremors of the hands (stretch them out in front of you and hold it in the air, see if there's a sign of tremor/trembling).

Pregnancy is also probable. But since you didn't mention about any irregularities in menses... Hrm...

Have it check out would be the safest.

Get well soon.

Answer 2

My first guess is Diabetes. Since you have noticed increased urine output, you are probably having some significant blood sugar elevations. There are a host of physiological things that happen when this occurs, all of them leading to something bad. You should be examined soon, like today, by a physician. You can get severely dehydrated, develope acidosis, and a host of other problems pretty quickly if you blood sugar is elevated and not brough under control. This is not an emergency YET, but it could be very soon if it is not treated. There are some other things that could be going on, like the others mentioned, but the diabetes is the most pressing problems that would need immediate attention. SEE YOUR DOCTOR TODAY!!

Answer 3

I would go to the doctor. If you're pregnant you'd need to see the doctor anyway and if you are not pregnant you should see the doctor to see what is causing your problems. So I would just go ahead and make a doctors appointment. Good luck!

Answer 4

You should go to a doctor. Sometimes women have their periods the whole nine months that they're pregnant and at home tests aren't always correct.

Answer 6

It would be worth having a blood test for thyroid problems.
Have you stopped or changed any medication recently?
Do you swim? If so, is your inner ear causing problems with balance due to water getting inside?

Answer 7

I would take a pregnancy test just to be sure. If your not then call your doctor. You could have some kind of sinus infection.

Answer 8

If your doctor cant advise you there is the option of a private consultation at the hospital below-could be linked to chronic fatigue syndrome.
