What Causes Fatigue Along With Dizziness And Red Rashes On The Hands?
I have recently come back from Africa and the month before I came back home I had a fever that the doctor s said was a bacterial infection as my white blood cell count was very high. I was then fine for a week then for two to three weeks I was tired and had abdominal pain and also generally felt very I ll. Then when I got home the doctor said he couldn t spot anything wrong and said it should clear up naturally and may be some sort of bacterial infection that will clear up. I was then fine for 2 weeks and then it came back and felt very tired and dizzy and unwell and now my heart it constantly besting very hard and fast and I have blotchy red and white patches on my hands and muscle sorness in my neck. I do suffer with bad anxiety and depression wondering if this is the cause or whether it may be something more serious. I ve been very paranoid about this for a while and ruining my life
It does sound like a bacterial infection on the basis of high blood counts but a recurrent episode points towards either a resistance to the initial antibiotics or even a parasitic infection.
