I'm confused as to what might be wrong with me?!

Hello. I am a 23 year old female who has recently been told I no longer have iron-deficiency anemia.its been around a week since Ive no longer been anemic.
However...I have noticed very odd symptoms and have been feeling sick. I don't know what if could be and I'm wondering if it might be diabetes. Here are my symptoms: hot and cold intolerance(my body temperature can't make up its mind), frequent urination, depression, anxiety, fatigue, floaters, heart palpitations/fast heartbeat-especially when eating sugar, dry skin, ringing in ears, confusion/memory loss, some nausea. Insomnia. Strong hunger pains even when I have eaten. And it seems as if I'm always dehydrated when I've had around 5 bottles of water a day. Lastly, occasionally when I go to sleep it seems as if I can't get up and have a heavy feeling as if I can't move. I'm not ruling out any other possibilities so any answers are welcome.

Hi, can you ask your Dr to check for diabetes?  it is a very simple test (just a blood test).   You should possibly also have thyroid checked.  

For the meantime try to eat minimally processed foods avoiding sugars and sweets.   Also try to walk or do some other gentle exercise.

Hope you feel better soon.
