Hi,
I am 25 and in good shape. A few weeks ago I had a cold and the sore throat stayed with me. about 10 days ago I have felt extremily lightheaded. To the point I went to the emergency room. I really have no other symptoms except for lightheadedness, and very tired. Not sure if I am tired because of the lightheadedness or not. All I know is my life is on halt till this gets better. Does Mono or the virus make you very lightheaded? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Have any of you had joint or muscle paine? Sore stomachs?
Hi im 18 and 2 months ago i started having racing heart beats and fevers. a month after the symptoms started i can down with mono symptoms. Have you had any more racing heart beating?
Hey man, I just read your two posts and in my opinion, it all seems EBV/ Mono related. I have walked in your shoes....being fit, exercising many days a week, and then suddenly having weird symptoms in the body....swollen lymph nodes, and ending up going to the E.R. I freaked out a little also when I had the numbness come upon my body...I felt it in my face...lips, my arms....legs....and it was something mild that came and gone on its own for several weeks. Have you experienced any twitching in your arm...any uncontrolled pulsing in the body? That is a sign of the virus disturbing the nuerological system a little. Besides the lymph nodes swelling, I have felt lightheadness, and fatigue....chest irritation/ pain, and some other mild symptoms. I'm 25, and it took a while for all these symptoms to catch up to me....maybe it will take even longer for you, or maybe you won't even get some of mine.
I'm not sure how much help I can give you, because my doctor has not helped me much and I will soon switch doctors. If you have the medical insurance, and the time, go ahead and test for other viruses that might generate the same symptoms that you have. Perhaps you have EBV or even more than that. EBV and Mono are one in the same, but MONO is the label when the virus is more agressive in the beginning.....but EBV seems to be mild in the beginning, but it longers in the body....sometimes chronicly. But do more research on both terms. I'm surprised that EBV can harm the body with so many symptoms, but yes....I say this because some people get tested for numerous STD"s and other diseases, and they learn that they just come up positive for EBV. Good luck dude...and if you want to stay in contact, email me at this site anytime.
