Whatever I said in my last post became so prominent the last half of the week, I eventually had to cut my working day short and visit the doctor, the dizziness became rather unbearable.
So basically I went to a nearby doctor's office by my home and he talked to me and asked me questions (including asking me if I have sisters/brothers). By the end of the diagnosis, he also asked me to do a squat into a standstill quickly to see how I feel.
And his answer to whatever that's going through me is that:
1. Anxiety is partially causing these symptoms (one which included before was shortness of breath). This is most likely caused by work pressure, he said.
2. I have okay blood pressure, but they're on the lower side.
The funny thing is that when he told me to do that squat-stand thingy, I said I felt a little dizzy. He said it's common to lower blood pressure people. He also mentioned that this kind of blood pressure is more closely associated to women, to which I had a hueg WTF inside my head.
Another thing he said is that my blood isn't circulating that good. When you look at your fingernails, the bottom part should have some 'white stuff' on it. He said that if you're healthy enough, all 5 fingers should have it. Currently, I have 3 fingers who have that on each of my hand. And he said the tip of the fingers should not look as pale too. That's a little Chinese medicine thingy that he's telling me but at least he's giving out useful info.
At the end he told me to eat sum vitamins (which he gave me two days' worth of dosage lol), along with Xanax, which helps in curing anxiety.
So yeah, at least I think this is helping. I do feel better now.
