Suggest Remedy For Dizziness, Headaches And Depression

default
Posted on Wed, 3 Dec 2014
Question: What could these symptoms mean for someone who has been in Mexico? I feel super tired. I get dizzy sometimes when I walk around. I have a headache every once in a while. The depression comes back periodically, but I can get it to go away if I kind of just ignore it. I feel nauseous sometimes. My body just feels weird in general like when you need to stretch but mixed with a really weak feeling. I feel like I am going to fall over any second because I am so tired, but when I try to sleep I can't. At night I can for little bit but it is a restless sleep. In the day I can for little bits of time and then I wake up and feel more tired.

Brief Answer:
Health check up required

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

From the history you have given me there are multiple possibilities for your current situation. Here is how you should go about it

1. Get a general health check up which should include, complete blood count, Vit D and Vit B12.
Most often extreme tiredness and weakness is because of anemia. Vit D levels can cause weakenss and generalised bodyaches
2. Fasting blood sugar. Diabetes is very well known to cause weakness and tiredness associated with giddiness
3. If the above two are normal I recommend that you get a CT brain done to rule out central causes for giddiness.

I must add here that it is very important that you get a general health check up done as soon as possible. Do not ignore the symptoms any further


I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
