I'm 21 years old, and have always had perfect health, i'm a former athlete and former extremely active energetic person. Over the past few months my life has been impacted by a list of symptoms that are not that serious by themselves, but added up together prove to be quite annoying. A visit to my doctor seemed to leave him a bit skeptical, he thinks i'm probably just not eating right, or excercising enough, or that it's a side effect of being 21 and partying. I am going back shortly to hopefully delve further, maybe get some blood work to be safe. I have gotten rid of doctor's before for not taking my ailments seriously, and I am not sure if this falls into that. He said since none of my symptoms are really severe they could be little explainable things due to my lifestyle. Anyways, I was wondering if I should get a new doctor, or if anyone on this board had a magic idea of what might be wrong with me so I can suggest to my doctor to look into that. Here are my symptoms:
-hard time falling asleep at night, but once I do i'm like dead, no amount of sleep will make me feel refreshed, 3 hours, 8 hours, 11 hours, I feel terrible when I wake up no matter what. During the day i'm still tired, but not like tired where I could take a nap, just generally tired.
-for most of the day especially the first few hours, I am seriously lightheaded, and have an impossible time focusing myself and getting any energy to do work. The whole day consists of me fighting the craving to do nothing and lay down, which still doesn't make me feel great, but gives me the best opportunity to feel good.
-i used to workout 2 hours everyday, and the only fatigue I would get was from my muscles being worked, and getting tired. Now when trying to excercise my muscles don;t get tired, I get tired much before. And not the normal excercising type of tired, the type of tired where I just want to go to sleep instead of working out which I have no energy for.
-then there are my eyes. My eyes randomly get seriously glassy, out of focus, and just feel heavy. There is also a random but mild pain that comes a couple times a week in the general area of my left eye.
-lasty, I do get random pains on the left side of my chest/upper abdomen. They aren't anything severe, and nothing I can't take, but I feel they are tied into whatever disorder I have.
Any insight on my dilemma will be greatly appreciated.
