Weakness, Dizziness, Tired, Headache

[tcchick]

My boyfriend is having weakness, dizziness, tiredness, and sometimes headaches. He's only 20, keep that in mind! He's searched everything and can't find the problem..He's already gone to the ER but not for these conditions, for rapid heart rate and the DR. gave him some beta-blocker metoprolol or something like that. This was all about 5 days ago, do you think that these symptoms were caused by the beta blocker or something else? The last time He went to the ER they did a check up on his thyroids, glucose, all blood cell counts. He's never had a CT or MRI, should he get one? We're not sure! Please help!

I think your boyfriend should have a CT scan and an MRI done.

I am 21, and have been experiencing unexplained weakness and dizziness and fatigue. These symptoms for me have lasted 2 months now and I am really despriate for help. I have always been in good health. The weakness is a pain, it gets so bad that I can't hold my head up. The fatigue never goes away, it is horrible. I am trying to go to college but these symptoms have me really confused. In december I was having confussion, it was so bad that I had no idea where I was or what I was doing. It seemed to get better after I ate but then I would notice the weakness. Now, the weakness is all the time. It doesn't matter what I do it continues. Well my doctor recommended that I should montior my blood sugar, he thinks that it might be low blood sugar. I have been montioring it since December and the lowest it got was 80, that is still normal. They have not determined if it is low blood sugar or not. When it gets to 80, I know I need to eat something to get it higher so it won't fall even more. Recently, another doctor has suggested that I monitor my blood sugar and my blood pressure. Well my blood pressure has be elevated but not a whole lot. My doc was thinking it was the high blood pressure but was stumped when she saw my blood pressure diary. She saw that it was 121 over 87 and I was still having these strange symptoms. I am not taking any meds. I have been on the depo shot for over a year now. These symptoms just all of a sudden came. My mom thinks it could be anemia since it runs in my family, well the blood test results came in and the doc said there is nothing to worry about. Any ideas what I should do?

I am 16 years old. I do regular excercise, I am a vegetarian and have been for almost three years now. In the past year I have been having dizzy spells. Sometimes maybe once a month, sometimes twice a week, sometimes 3 times a day. My mum always aysit is becuase I am not eating properly (she does not agree with me being vegi), also I feel so tired. I had a hpase a few months back where i felt tired all the time, mum took me to the doctors as she thought i may be anaemic but my blood test revealed i was fine, so she said i obviously wasnt getting enough sleep. Over the past month i have been getting terrible headaches usually at the back of my head. Then this morning, I woke up and tried to move one of my hands as you do, but when I turned at look at it it was just dangling downwards. I tried my hardest to straighten up my hand but as much as i was trying it just wouldn't move, so I got out of bed and was on my way down stairs n thn my hand went back to normal. I told my mum anyway nd she said I must have slept on it funny, but it wasn't normal numbness where you can feel a slightinglying in your fingers like pins and needles I could not physically move my hand! It was very scare and I can't explain it. I don't know what do as she thinks nothing of any of these, I understand that they could all be easily explained and I could just be being paranoid as these are coincidental but... I don't know.

I am 21 years old, and have had fatigue, dizziness and weakness feelings for bout a montho off and on. I fainted about a month ago and the doctors have no reason to why that happened. I hit my head off the cement floor, but did not have a huge headache, but it got worse into the week after. I was out for a liitle more than a minute, and I dont remember fainting or the seconds leading up to it. I went to see my family physician and he didnt say to much about it. I could sleep for hours and still be tired and wake up with stil a headache and the spins. I am very active and hate being tired. I dont know what to do, as my doctor seems to think it is nothing.
