Mysterious ill.

[roswellivory]

I nearly blacked out on Thursday and have been having dizzy/ligtheaded/feeling-drunk-without-the-alcohol spells on and off ever since. I went to the walk-in centre and my ears are fine, my blood pressure is fine and I passed the tests for serious stuff, however I STILL FEEL "WRONG

Have a cup of tea and call me in the morning.

It's most likley nothing to be worried about. You've been to the docs and everything seems ok, so just relax and it'll probably go away in a bit :]

Did you have your iron level tested?
Do you use sleeping pills?

I agree, it's probably nothing. Iron deficiency can be very tiring but is usually treatable, for instance.

Thanks guys!

Must admit I wasn't impressed by the walk-in centre asking me sternly if I was "starving myself to be a size-zero"

When the entire left side of my body went numb, I called the doctor for advice and was told it was due to stress, which I'm surprised about as I don't feel stressed.(More excited due to decorating my new flat)

We shall see....

Thanks for caring .

Oh goodness :S Get plenty of rest and just chill for a couple of days, see how you feel after that. I hope you're ok!

On a different note, lovely to meet you last week! <3

You get plus points for going to the walk-in center, because most of the serious stuff (strokes, etc.) needs to be treated fast, so getting the checks done covers that bit.

The stress/take a few days off and recover, is the usual advice when they don't have a clue ... but of course that doesn't mean it is not a good advice.

And you can talk the GPs into doing the full blood test (to get the Iron/Mg/Cholesterol/whatever levels), with a bit of convincing you can also most of the times get a copy of the printouts/results.

Thanks- yeah that's generally the first place I go if I have weird symptoms. I wasn't impressed at the way they accused me of "starving so I can be a size zero" though. UGH!!

I'm feeling better now anyway- thanks for the advice :)

Heya! Was great to meet you too! It's always nice to find out that people I speak to on livejournal really do exist, LOL!!

PS Thanks for the good wishes- I'm feeling better now.
