List of Problems, Please Read (long Post) Posted: 01-27-06 08:58am
[i'll just list all the problems or
symptoms and see what you think]
myself:
-age:20
-body: I look athletic and pretty toned
despite not exercising due to the lack of
energy that came on few years ago. I
weigh 130lbs and am 5ft 6in.
-medical: was once almost "anemic" on a
small level, advised to take in more
iron.
Broken down symptoms:
-lethargy, lack of energy.
-lack of focus, ability to remember or
memorize etc.
-headaches between the eyes and rear base
of my head.
-dizziness and lightheadedness, usually
when standing up at any time. Even
standing up slowly. Sometimes randomly
while walking and I feel about to faint.
-shortness of breath.
-tightness in chest.
-occasionally sharp shooting pains in the
chest or around the left side from front
to back (under the left arm pit).
-sometimes blurry vision.
-sometimes light gives me a headache.
-random insomnia ever since I was young.
-almost constant lower back pain (i've
worked a few physical jobs like carwashing
and stocking heavy stuff in a grocery
store).
---longer explanations of above symptoms
with details-----
for maybe a year or two i've had almost
constant "lethargy" or lack of energy and
I sleep alot. I've been dizzy almost
everytime I stand up and get headaches
alot, many times also suffer from insomnia
on occasions.
I don't seem to be able to grasp things as
easily now mentally like i'm not as smart
or something, harder for me to memorize
things etc.
Due to the lack of energy, sleepiness (and
sleeping for really long hours sometimes),
dizziness, unable to focus and think well
I haven't been exercising and makes it
difficult to get out and about while
feeling ..Well like "crap" I guess. Few
months ago I had a job working in a
grocery store and it involved alot of
lifting heavy stuff and it may have put
alot of strain on my back but what
concerns me alot more instead of constant
back pain is that sometimes while stocking
I would get tightness in my chest and have
trouble breathing. Not a wheezing like
asthma but like having to take slower
deeper breaths. I still have this
problem almost daily (tightness and some
lack of breath).
Anyway the big concern was once in awhile
while stocking I had a shooting sharp pain
in my chest, from what I can remember it
was my whole chest. I had to stop what I
was doing, lean over something and not
move while I held my chest and breathed
slowly and softly until it went away. I
quit this job and have been unemployed at
home for a few months and haven't had
really any sharp shooting pain to that
degree anymore.
After I quit and had been sleeping,
relaxing and not doing much I noticed I
have a very uncomfortable feeling in the
left side of my chest around to the left
side of my back. I can't sleep on my
left side without having some trouble
breathing properly, the most comfortable
position is flat on my back or my right
side. I get pains in my chest and that
left area (kind of under the left arm pit)
sometimes and the more I move or breath
the more it hurts.
Sometimes when I get these pains,
breathing problems or severe headaches
they all call for stopping movement,
breathing slowly and holding my
chest/covering my eyes(headaches). They
subside after a few minutes usually but
always come back. Your thoughts are
greatly appreciated. The only thoughts I
have is to get a blood test and see a
chiropractor.

I did a little reading and most of the
symptoms seem to be a more severe case of
anemia. Any opinions on that? Guess I
should get another blood test.
