What Causes Fatigue,headache,dizziness And Sore Gums?
Hi. I've been feeling rather crummy for a while now( since about Dec 26 or so), off and on. Just when I think I'm getting better it seems I am down again. Mostly the symptoms have been similar to cold/flu and maybe strep. Most recently the new symptoms (began about 4 days ago or so) are extreme fatigue, awful headache, dizziness and very swollen, sore gums.
It is likely that I may have a sinus infection but I have had many of them and don't recall this kind of issue with my gums.
With our insurance changing we now have a high deductible HSA and it is pretty much like having no coverage.
Don't want to waste money if this is just viral, but starting to feel a little concerned and overwhelmed.
