I am really worried...

[emmarose13]

Over the last few months I have been feeling extremely weak and tired. I am constantly falling asleep wherever I am and sometimes even feel faint. When I stand I usually feel dizzy and feel as if I'm spinning. What could be wrong?

How would i be able to know if its due to mental illnesses?

What do you think it might be? and what is the test?

Thanks for all answers people; i have seen a doctor and they're doing a blood test for anemia, but I just wanted some other perspectives too.

Thank you,
Emma

A number of things may be wrong: Anxiety, severe depression, other mental related Illnesses. Also this could be a form of heart problems or cardiovascular problems. Best to see a doctor right away.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Extreme fatigue could be due to anemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, or due to kidney or liver problems. Another possibility is sleep disturbances (like sleep apnea, imbalance of rapid eye and non rapid eye movement sleep etc.). You may sleep your customary 7-8 hours and yet feel fatigued. You need sleep studies to rule this out. Other possibilities are chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, low Vit b12, low iron, low calcium, sodium and potassium. Hyperthyroidism too causes increased sweating and tiredness.   Diabetes too is a possibility.  A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!

Hi,

I think I know what is wrong with you. There is a simple test you can go through to see if you feel better and you might feel some pain which is due to healing.

I know many people with the ringing in their ears.

Thanks
