Hope someone can help me. I am male, 28, 5'11", 175 lbs (I should be 155 lbs, holidays and the pub are killing me!) Meds: Paxil, Lamisil (nails)..

When I get up from a chair or make a sudden move I get really dizzy, and sometimes I get this strange pain that goes down my arm into my hand, I also get this same feeling in my head. I am very tired and I get not tolorate exericise. I feel like I could sleep for ever and Can't hold me breath for very long at all.

Any ideas, I am more the willing to provide more info/sympt.
