What Causes Feeling Of Restlessness And Lightheadedness Along With Numb Toe?

For the past few days I have been feeling restless and mildly depressed. Before that I have had numb toes (right foot) and still have a cough from a cold I had a few weeks ago. In the past two days I ve been feeling light headed and as if I weigh an immense amount less than usual when I weigh the same. I am eating healthy but I am a smoker. Female, 19.

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation or chronic anemia.

That is why, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- complete blood count for anemia
- kidney and liver function tests
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- fasting glucose
- PCR, ESR for inflammation.

I would also advice checking your blood pressure. Low blood pressure could be the cause of your troubles.
Meanwhile, it is important to have some rest for a couple of days and take plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
