Undiagnosed Abdominal Pain / Cramps Headaches With Exhaustion / Nausea
Two months ago I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and took antibiotics but after I finished them I still wasn't feeling great so my doctor put me on another round. Finished those and then began having slight headaches, lots of nausea, sometimes vomiting and diarrhea and extreme exhaustion. I have had two blood tests and nothing shows up I have an ultrasound this week but does anyone have any idea of what this could be? I am a normally healthy twenty year old and this is keeping me from work and school!
View 1 RepliesUndiagnosed Symptoms :: Fatigue, Exhaustion And Muscle Aches
I'm a 28 year old male. Over the past couple years my health has been steadily deteriorating.
Physical Issues:-
- Weight gain. 1-2 years gained 40lbs. (Now closing in on 295lbs)
- Unable to lose weight. Cut calories, ate better food, worked out with a trainer 4-5 days a week, 2.5 hours a day for a month and lost 2lbs. Muscle gain did not account for the lack of weight loss.
- knee pain (for 4-5 years). X-rays came back negative.
- legs are constantly overheated, and warm to the touch.
- exhaustion, all the time. To the point where it affects my life.
- no interest in anything due to always being tired.
- caffeine has no effect. Never drank coffee in my life, but started drinking black coffee and had no effect.
- constantly feeling 'I can't', whenever something comes up.
Doctors suggestions:-
-Doctor treated this as depression. I went on Celexa for 5 months and all that did was make things worse. Increased weight gain, more tired, more emotional, more depressed.
- I also saw a psychologist for about 10 sessions, but this was not very effective as I didn't have any specific trauma events.
- blood work and urine came back normal. No thyroid issues, no diabetes, nothing.
I keep trying to get healthy, but I can't shake this 'cloudy' feeling and exhaustion all the time.
I don't know if anyone can think of what this could be? I know I need to get more active, but like I said above my body and mind keep telling me 'I can't'...and no amount of caffeine helps.
Hip Replacement :: Exhaustion, Dizziness And Nausea On A Busy Day
I'm 9 weeks post TRHR and although I'm back driving, doing most regular activities I'm getting wiped out in the evenings.
It's not just fatigue. It's like I'm going to pass out and I feel very nauseous.
I was just wondering if this was normal or if maybe I am anaemic. I was anaemic after surgery but I was in a supplement and I had recovered.
Basically I'm wondering if it's due to me overdoing things prof maybe I should get my bloods checked.
Trimethoprim :: Extreme Exhaustion, Nausea, Mouth Breathing And Panting
I really feel ill after almost three days taking Primethoprim.
Following a hip replacement in April, my pre-existing (1959!) lumbar spine problems came back worse than ever. I now have Lumbar canal stenosis.
To help the intolerable pain, I was given Baclofen, then Diazepam and nothing made any difference. I was admitted to hospital one day when I couldn't move at home and was given an injection of Ketorolac plus Tramadol and Paracetamol tablets and discharged back home where I live on my own.
Supplied with a prescription for Tramadol 50mg to a max of eight in 24 hours, the pain continued to lessen.
But then I began to have a slight pain when passing urine. After testing my urine, the GP said I have a bladder or urethral infection. She prescribed ten Trimethoprim 200mg, to run over five days, i.e. one morning and one evening.
Ever since taking the Trimethoprim 200mg I have had extreme exhaustion, nausea, mouth-breathing and panting and therefore very dry mouth, complete loss of appetite, etc, and general misery.

View 1 RepliesPots Like Undiagnosed Symptoms Cause A Enlarged Heart?
My fast heart rate (sinus tachycardia) started when i was about 17-18. I was a healthy active kid up until i got dropped from high school and i isolated myself from everyone except family and literally sat in a room playing video games all day everyday. Didnt eat much, not alot of water... I was sabotaging myself and i didnt even know it. I honestly was depressed. Then came pots. My heart was plummeting to around 100-300 bpm just from walking or attempting to walk. I felt really desperate and i bet the cause of my symptoms were lack of certain nutrients, magnesium, potassium... Etc. I went to a cardiologist, got a full workup and my heart looked 100 percent perfectly normal. I then tried beta blockers (big mistake) Metoprolol was not bad, but it gave me sharp chest pains so i got off it. Could it be that these sharp chest pains were caused by lack of potassium or magnesium while taking beta blockers, which was my heart telling me this is a mistake? Long story short... I was enormously uninformed on the effects of not getting enough magnesium, potassium, etc for the heart. I would have never tried meds. The cardiologists i went to didn't even acknowledge that or test me for low levels. I didnt have a pcp at the time. Its almost 1 year later and im still in the same boat. But now, my heart does not beat the same. Compared to before, it feels as if my heart has a much more forceful and stronger pump. Which would indicate a enlarged heart, or possibly heart block? Growing up i had absolutely no awareness of my heartbeat... Even when i use to exercise. That feeling feels so distant now because it feels like im getting 24/7 palpitations. I could feel my heart all the time and i now have high blood pressure, and i didn't have this before. Will my heart ever be the same again? It feels as if i completely sabotaged my heart and precipitated heart problems that i didn't have.
View 5 RepliesUndiagnosed Symptoms :: Long Term Edema
If a patient has long term generalized edema (pitting in the legs), what are the other possible diagnostic alternatives, after heart, kidney, liver and protein abnormalities have been ruled out? I've been struggling with this edema nonsense for several years, unremitting, and yet my docs are stumped when it come to diagnosis. I also have some GI motility and hormone stuff happening but they claim there's no connection between the two, although I do tend to get rid of excess fluid (through urination), on the rare occasions when my GI system seems to be functioning correctly
I'm 45 yr old male, no diabetes, thyroid usually normal range but flagged as mildly hyper at on few occasions, and low BP. I was very thin prior to the fluid retention, which averages between 20-30 pounds, by my estimation. I was also otherwise very healthy and active prior to these symptoms, but since becoming ill, I am often very fatigued and sleepy most days.
Undiagnosed Symptoms :: Twelve Round Bites - Shingles?
I thought I had been bitten by something from my upper abdomen around to the middle of my back, but now I'm not sure. I have about twelve round red "bites" that are growing and itching and very sore. They are now odd shaped but I have no blisters. I'm having a shooting pain in the back. By the way, all of this starts from the middle of my abdomen, between my breasts, around the left side to the middle of my back. The two or three in the back are the biggest and the most painful. I can't wear a bra without pain, although I do it. I've put calamine on the ones I can reach. I live alone and I'm a 58 yo woman. I did have chicken pox at the age of 6. The places are bright red and on the big one in front, a part of it is almost numb if I rub my finger across it lightly.
View 3 RepliesUndiagnosed Symptoms :: Lipoma, Sebaceous Cyst Or Just Edema ?
In July I noticed a lump on my left underarm. I went to our local clinic and the Dr. diagnosed it as a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst. A few weeks later I went to have it removed. A different Dr. looked at the lump and opted not do do the surgery because he did not feel it was a lipoma or a cyst. I was sent to do an ultrasound and a diagnostic mammogram. My breast tissue looked fine. The Dr who did my ultra sound showed me that my lymph nodes were fine. She also showed me that the lump looked to be fatty tissue. She thought it to be possibly edema, but she did not sound so sure it was. I go back in three months for a follow up visit.
As a side note, about this time I was ten days in to going from levothyroxine to nature- throid. The bump was sore at that time. I switched back to levothyroxine about 16 days ago and the bump only hurts on occasion now and not nearly as much as before.
Has anyone heard of anything like this? I am just curious. Nobody seems to know what it is and what to do about it.
Undiagnosed Symptoms :: Tingly Left Index Finger
So for a few days on and off my left index finger has been tingly. It's just the tip of my finger and it is on and off. I work as a server and use my hands a lot. I've been wondering if it's just a burn. It feels like there is a string around the first joint of my finger. Not to tight but just annoying. I can still move it and feel things so it's not completely numb just a little tingly. Thanks for any help you can give
View 1 RepliesUndiagnosed Symptoms :: Chest Pain With Floating Sensation During Sleep
Night before last I woke up 9-10 times with the sensation you get when you drive over a large bump in the road too quickly, or when you pass over the high points of a roller coaster. I'm wondering if my heart is skipping a beat, or have I stopped breathing and I'm waking up trying to catch my breath? I've had some issues with chest pain lately, and they haven't found anything yet. They still have to do the stress test and ultrasound. Has anyone else experienced the "floating" sensation I am talking about? It's strong enough that it wakes me up.
View 2 RepliesUndiagnosed Symptoms :: Cramp And Heat Sensation In Back Of Lower Leg
for about a week i have had periodic "heat flashes" in the back of my right leg from the foot to the back of the knee. Not painful, but odd sensation like hot compress being applied. happens 8-10 times a day when i am sitting or standing. Had a severe leg cramp, charlie horse, about 1 1/2 weeks ago so thought symptoms might be related. went to my MD who told me no danger of blood clot (would be very severe pain, swelling, hot to touch). said probably related to leg cramp and advised me to do more walking (i sit in an office chair all day) and to do exercises consisting of pushing left down down as far as it will go for 5 seconds, then arching up for 5 seconds, for 10 times. She likely due to spasms and that hot flash is due to when blood vessels stop dilating (???). I will try this recommendation for one week and will let you know, but I am not very confident that this will work.This discussion is related to Strange feeling of heat in my leg.
