Dizziness, Headache, Hot flashes...

[hellokittie]

In reference to the past few posts, I have been having similar symptoms for the past few months.

I have put off going to the doctor, because of money and time issues, but I'm really getting scared...

Every day it seems, maybe it's my job, maybe it's something else. I just cannot concentrate. I used to be a great typer, it's my job, but like right now I can barely concentrate I keep messing up. I have this pressure-plugged up feeling in my ears, like I have to pop them but they won't pop. My head always feels like a balloon. Always some sort of a headache. Yesterday it made me nautious the headache was so strong. For some reason if I get canker sores in my mouth, it makes everything worse. I know I have allergies, but I haven't taken medicine for them for months, I just feel fine without it. I hardly ever get allergy attacks anymore.

Also when I'm at my desk, I sometimes sweat all day. Even when it's not even hot, I just sweat all day, mostly my face feels hot all the time. When I have gone to the doctor recently or the dentist, I always have a normal temp normal blood pressure and pulse. My face feels even hotter when I wear makeup which sucks cuz I can't even wear makeup!

My mom said it might be low blood sugar. I just need to get to the doctor. I'm afraid it's like carbon monoxide poisoning, but I have a detector and it's not going off. When I move my head slightly it feels like I'm going to fall over. I have trouble holding things, I've dropped so many things. Sometimes I stumble. Sometimes it feels like I can't drive. But somehow every day I manage to push through.

Please let me know what the diagnoses were with the other cases. Thanks.

the problems as such u have described above do occur to me also.i am hypothyroidic and i feel u get your thyroid gland tested after consulting any endocrinologist.i think yours problem may subsidise,once you are on medicine, but it wont go off permanently.
my best wishes are with you.

Hellokitie!

I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way and I admire you getting through the day despite what you are experiencing.  From the way you pictured it I just cannot come up with a single condition that can cause this.  It can be as simple as stress or vitamin deficiency or complex like a thyroid or neurologic problem.  I suggest you inquire with your doctor regarding tests like thyroid hormone levels, hemoglobin levels.  Have your ears checked and ask your doctor for a full neurologic physical examination.

For the meantime, make sure you are eating healthy.  You may start multivitamin supplementation if you feel your not getting enough of these in your diet.  I hope everything will be cleared once you have consulted.  Again I admire you getting through all of these.  Regards and God bless.
