Weakness/Slight Fever

[var7565]

For the last some months I have been feeling very weak which is not tiredness. I get up in the morning and feel cold, don't like to switch on the fan. My throat feels like its sore. Because of that i feel slight fever. Sometime I feel pretty good and energetic and within 2-3 hours  feel extreme weakness.

I have shown to some doctors they say there is no problem with my throat. There are no enlarged tonsils too.

I am so confused what to do. Please someone suggest. Can't go on living like this.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Sore throat in the morning, tiredness etc could be exacerbation of the GERD.  It could also be hiatal hernia. Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. You will need to take a combination of medications (under medical supervision) like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole,  lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief. Possibility of H pylori infection too should be looked into by a carbon urea breath test and a combination antibiotic tried. Many a times a persisting H pylori infection can be the cause behind acidity not responding to treatment.
Life style changes that will help include: Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, smoking, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Avoid lying down for least 2 hours after food. Maybe these tips will help you.
You should consult a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system) or a physician for this if these tips reduce your symptoms. You may need upper GI endoscopy for confirmation and to know the degree of damage.
Also test for hypothyroidism, diabetes and anemia.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!

I would recommend taking a daily vitamin if not already also taking vitamin c supplements helps a lot with immunity and feeling down. Drinking green tea and couple drops of honey in ur tea will make ur throat feel much better within a couple hours.
