What Causes Severe Fatigue Along With Nausea And Dizziness?

Hi Dr - Hoping you can help me with my symptoms. The last couple months, I ve been experimenting severe fatigue, weight gain, stomach nausea (alot), dizziness, either muscle or joint pain/stiffness, tingling/numbness in my right calf and weakness. It feels like I have inflammation all throughout my body (especially my forearms, hands, wrists, knees and ankles). I do take meds for depression and anxiety but I feel that s pretty under control with the medicine I m taking (gabapentin, zoloft and one other for sleep (blanking on name)). I sleep fine. Meds help with that. I rarely drink. I don t do drugs. I m currently on leave from work due to the heightened stress. I m in corp as an executive assistant (very stressful job). I take norco 3-4 times a day for my bulging discs in my back. I ve been taking this medicine for many years so I don t feel it s medication related. I feel like I m forgetting things alot more than usual... things I should not - that are easy to remember. I ve been waking up in the AM with headaches but the norco pretty much cures that. I m married, 38 with two kids (6 and 9). I also have PSVT which I take atenenol and digoxin for. I m not pregnant. I m caucasian Thoughts? Thank you for your help. - Candace
