Arg. Self Diagnosis.
I've been inexplicably tired for what seems to be weeks now. I get home from work, eat something, try to work on some writing thing or do a little reading and conk out until the sun's down. I get back to doing whatever I was doing, but only get a handful of hours in before it's midnight and I'm getting droopy-eyed again and turn in for the night.
Today I had a meal at work, took it easy, leisurely walked to the bus stop to get home (didn't ride my bike today), ate a handful of shelled sunflower seeds, a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats, and a huge salad made entirely from veggies from the garden. Between the cereal and the salad, I felt fainter than before, and my hands started shaking uncontrollably. I seemed okay after the salad, but I actually didn't finish the last bite, I was already falling asleep and my sister took the bowl from me while I drifted into oblivion.
For five hours.
I went poking around to figure out how imperative it is for me to find a doctor. No one in my immediately family has a regular doctor, so I'm a little lost on how to go about it.
I have a tendency to push my body too hard and undereat. I'm prone to low blood sugar and light-headedness and trembling hands. I also tend to not sleep enough.
I think I'm hypoglycemic. Which should mean eating more regularly and more balanced should set me to rights, but I suppose it'll be good to get a professional opinion.
