What Causes Persistent Dizziness And Fatigue?

When I make the slightest movement eg bending, walking 10 steps, lifting my arms for 30 seconds etc, I feel dizzy, everything spins, deeply fatigued and breathe heavily. I have to sit down or lie down for a good five minutes before I recover. When I am sitting and working on the computer am fine and it can be for hours it doesn t matter. I am just fine.

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to different possible causes: a metabolic disorder, heart failure, a lung disorder, chronic anemia, etc..

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your GP and performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes:
- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- a chest X ray study and pulmonary function tests
- complete blood count
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests
- vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels
- thyroid hormone levels.
If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as a possible cause of your troubles.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
