QuestionI'll start off by saying I'm a 17 year old female, average weight and height but for the past few weeks I've been noticing some changes in my body.
I am so tired lately that I can't do many things I used to do before like going to college or going out with friends. Even when I am at home doing nothing I am still tired. I also feel constantly weak and dizzy like if I'm walking around my house I have to sit down because I feel that if I don't that I will faint. I have been having dizzy spells when first standing up from being sat down for the past few years but this is completely worse and happens when I'm walking around too. Another symptom that I don't know if it could be related is that after I eat, I've noticed feeling really bloated afterwards which also makes me need to lie down because it makes me feel unwell.
I hope you can give the best input on what may be wrong with me as I don't know why this is happening. Thank you
AnswerThis is always tricky, since I don't get to ask questions here.... I would ask if you gained weight or lost weight, or how heavy periods are, or are using any drugs/alcohol.
But in general, if the above answers are negative, I would have your thyroid tests checked and have your blood counts checked. I would also make sure there isn't a mood problem like depression going on, but get the blood tests......
Also, check for a urinary tract infection or pregnancy.....
