What Is Wrong With Me? Tired, Feeling Faint, Headaches.....
Posted: 04-23-07 07:56am

I have many ideas as to why I feel crappy but thought I would post and see if anyone has had similiar problems and what was wrong.

I will give you an idea of my health history.....might give a clue?

I had an anterior cervical discectomy with fusion in 2002. I had a baby by c section in 2003, cataracts surgery on both eyes in 2005, another baby by c section in 2006, I am very overweight and can't seem to lose it Crying
or Very sad . Wow, at 36 I sound like a train wreck. lol

Anyway, I started having episodes of light headedness and feeling faint a couple of years ago. My doctor blew me off and gave me the typical, "you don't feel good because you are fat" answer. It is possible but it came on suddenly. My blood pressure has always been good, sugar was normal during my pregnancy seven months ago. I am sure that being overweight does not make me feel good but I am working on it.

I will be going about my daily business and suddenly feel like I am going to pass out, I usually have pressure at the base of my skull when it happens. Occasionally my limbs feel heavy and strange. I have migraines my whole life but have them more frequently now. I am tired all the time...but I have a three year old and a seven month old too. Razz

Any ideas, experiences? Thanks

it may just be the stresses of being a mother. are you eating a healthy balance diet? getting enough iron? enough sleep? it sounds obvious but these things play a major part in your overall health.
