dizziness

[ness12]

Hi,
I was wondering if you might have an answer to my dizziness?
It seems to get worse when i am walking, it is causing me great stress as i work 6 days and rely on public transport.
I also have pains in my arms and shins.

Hi,
Dizziness could be due to many reasons. First of all you need to rule out hypoglycaemia as a cause. So make sure you eat your meals on time and do not remain hungry for too long.
Are you suffering from fever or infection of any kind?
Also get your blood pressure checked to rule out hypertension.If the cause is still not apparent you will have to undergo a complete neurological examination.

Hello, dear.  :)  Well, to start with the basics, are you getting enough rest and eating well?  The dizziness could have something to do with fatigue and/or your blood sugar.  I am not a doctor, so don't quote me on that, but you may want to get tested for diabetes or hypoglycemia.  

The pains could be a number of things.  I am not sure of what to say to that.  I recommend that you see your primary doctor and discuss these things with him/her.  You doctor will examine you and order the tests that you may need.  Please make sure they do a complete blood panel, neurological exam, and do a sed rate test.  A sed rate test is a simple blood test that determines whether or not there is inflammation in your body, and then your doctor will decide if you need further testing or may refer you to a specialist.  Also, you may want to do some research on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  I'm not saying you have it, but it may help to provide you with something to go on, and then you can discuss that with your primary care physician.  I'm sorry I'm not much of a help to you.  Please let me know what your doctor says if you want to.  Good luck!
