Doctors don't know what's wrong with me they're not helpful at all

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi I'm a 29 year old female. For the last 4 weeks I've had a number of different symptoms. I've been light headed everyday for the 4 weeks it's not diziness it's like a brain fog but definitely feeling a bit drunk all the time. I've had a sick feeling every couple of days. I've got shooting pain in my lower back. The last few days I've come out in a cold sore and feel like I've got congestion up my nose like I can't taste very good from my nose if that makes sense? Anyway I've been feeling really rubbish. Ecg normal also complete blood count normal. I've also been feeling really tired. But everyime I go to the doctors they keep passing it off as anxiety and trying to prescribe me anti depressants. I've also been having terrible left side head pain on and off. I had a mri scan 6 months ago that was normal. I'm so scared and fed up that the doctors won't take me seriously and keep fobbing me off. Is it normal to feel light headed everyday? I've taken vertigo tablets just incase but that didn't touch it one bit.

Any advice please I'm desperate x

    Hi, have you had any thyroid test? This organ effects many body functions. Also can make you feel terrible. Best of luck.🍀

      I've only had a full blood count and that came back normal. Does this check thyroid? Thank you. I feel so genuinely ill. My doctor keeps putting it down to anxiety I know it's not that.

      Hi zoey, I do not know, but you must have the right to call and ask if your thyroid was checked what the results indicated. Zoey, I do not know by your name if you are male or female!? Females are more inclined to this malady and it involves hormone levels, menses, age such as perimenopaue. It is a very complicated and important process of the body and all test go for the "norm" which may be too much medicine for you or may be not enough for you. If you need to get serious about this malady you need to educate yourself about the way this whole organ works, the symptoms etc are. I would like to be able to give you better info but you really a professional. However,

      oops However, do not let the Drs tell you it is in your head! The truth is the Drs may not be educated enough or not really understand the issues. Remember Drs now have specialties, which means we as health seekers have to shop for the ones that know how to help us.whew, it is a challenging trip and takes so much time and effort that it is exhausting and depressing. Think of yourself as a warrior and speak up, question Drs why they come to their conclusions and if they can direct you to professionals or  other pros with different knowledge kills. You count, do not let them discount you!! It is their job to help you and do no one harm!! Keep fighting for your health. Best of luck🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌷
