Diagnosis

I was wondering what you think could be wrong with me. I have been tired lately, with fatigue. I spend most of my day on the couch. I do not go to bed til around 5 a.m. for some reason.  Also, I have trouble taking deep breaths along with tightness in my chest area. I don't know if this is from anxiety or what, but I do get myself worked up easily. I'm a 21 year old male, who is in good shape. I had blood work done recently and everything was fine except my blood was thicker than it should be and they attributed it to dehyrdation. Now I find myself drinking excessive water to make up for my dehydration which could be bad too. Please help me find whats wrong with me!

Did they check your thyroid levels and your blood glucose?

You are not alone. I myself had a sleep problem which has ceased - i was literally bumping into people at the store getting sleep aids so your not alone. My nights were spent up intil morning. Unfortunatly, i think that something in your life is bothering you. My suggestion to you which I wish I would had done sooner - is to get help for it. Dont drink caffeine - and I hope that you get back on track.

How long have you been feeling like this? Have you been tested for anything? If its been a while, you may want to look into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS or CFIDS), This is a long shot too, but look up Hugh's syndrome (sometimes refered to sticky blood syndrome): http://www.hughes-syndrome.org/index.htm
You're not drinking/eating any artificial sweeteners like Aspartame or Succrolose/Splenda are you? They cause a number of health problems including chest pains and fatigue.
Lack of sleep can make things worse too, have you tried sleeping aides, even a natural one like Meletonin?
