Stomach pain

[Philpot]

I'm a 43 year old male. For the last 3 months I've been getting stomach aches, headaches, light headedness, nausea, sudden tiredness and bad wind. Toilet wise everything is normal. I'm very fit for my age (cycle over 10 miles a day to work and play football once a week), plus I eat mostly healthy food. I hardly ever get ill yet recently I've also had 2 ear infections and had 2 bouts of flu. I feel like I'm run down, except I'm very happy/unstressed in both my work and family life. Any ideas?

Stress can cause all of these symptoms.  Stress can also cause ulcers in your stomach causing these symptoms.  Have you been checked for an ulcer?  I would recomend seeing your physician and having an exam and full blood work up done.  Whether you are generally healthy or not, it is still possible to get sick and stress can weaken your immune system causing you to catch certain illnesses.  Please see your doctor.

I have to agree with KalynS....just because you have a healthy lifestyle doesn't rul out getting sick.  I think the best thing to do is schedule a physical with your doctor.

Just because you live a healthy lifestyle does not mean you can't get sick or have something wrong. Have you tried going to the doctor? See about having a good physical and talk to your doctor about your symptoms.
