What's wrong with my boyfriend? What can I do to fix it? Or help?

What do these symptoms mean?
Little_One1991
So my boyfriend is 61, and I have noticed-not only have I noticed, but he's told me that he has been feeling very weak, he's been very fatigued can barely get out of bed, and one day, we were taking a walk and he said his chest hurt.  I instantly thought oh my God a stroke but,   he has none of the other symptoms,  basically the symptoms are: tired all the time, he gets sweaty, he is really cold, and he can't get out of bed because he has no energy,  and today he went to the bank and he passed out, he completely passed out and fell to the ground, he has no appetite. He also said he's been a little lightheaded.  But he has not eaten in five days now I am trying to force him to eat and he just won't do it ,  can you tell me what this is please I'm so worried about him ?

Hello~He definitely needs to see his doctor. His symptoms could be due to numerous issues such as: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, or even a heart issue.

I wouldn't wait, I would have him make an appointment as soon as possible.

He should get checked out for a condition that I have called May-Thurner Syndrome (Left Iliac Vein Compression). It can cause all of his problems especially the fatigue. I read one of your other posts that mentioned he has DVTs. That's exactly what this condition is known for.
