In need of help
Hi Doc
First, thank you for taking time to read this. I absolutely need you're guidance and expertise.
in mid January I changed jobs, the process was a little stressful. On the 2nd of February I was laying down on the couch when out of nowhere I suddenly felt intense fatigue, like the wind got knocked out of me... I tried to relax, the next day I went to work but felt even worse intense body fatigue and nauseous so I took the rest of the day off and went home to try to sleep it off... I remember laying in bed and my heart was beating very fast.
Since then I've been feeling like I'm in an uphill battle I suddenly get very cold and shivery, my legs and arms get heavy, my appetite goes up and down. I wake up with some sort of burning sensation on my shoulders and back, I get dizzy spells, I feel I don't have the energy I had just 2 months ago! This has been going on for over a month, just when I think I've shacked the feeling off, it's comes back.
No fever though, no rashes, no night sweats just feeling my my body is constantly trying to fight off something.
I am married, I was with sex workers about 2 years ago always protected and just vaginal. Even the oral was with a condom...
My questions is what's happening to me and what should I do??

No, I have no idea what is causing your symptoms. Good see a doctor for your concerns. There is now way possible for anyone to diagnose you over the Internet.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease Teak, I appreciate it. I just look at your profile
" Paramedic for 34 year. Diagnosed with HIV in 1984" That's amazing... I hope you're feeling well?
Can I ask one last question? Can you guess what can be causing my symptoms?
Let me be a little clearer, like I said my muscles hurt on and off through the day, I feel drained of strength, I'll have great appetite for a few days then none. I haven't lost any weight. I've just been so dizzy like I'm tipping forward. Any idea???

If a condom fails you would know it with out a doubt. No it is not a possibility for a condom to fail and you not know it. When condoms fail they shred and look like a grass dress on a penis. See your doctor for your concern is has nothing to do with HIV.

What if the condom broke or leaked and I wasn't aware of it? that's always a possibility right? Would I suddenly be feeling like this after 2 years? I've been reading that HIV symptoms may not show for about 8 years.. Is it a possibility that I have HIV symptoms 2 years after intercourse?
What would cause my muscles to be so weak all of a sudden? Occasionally if I stand up my legs shake... I've tried to fight this off as anxiety but it's hit me so hard.
