I'm looking for a second opinion on what I'm sick with. None of the doctors can figure out what is making me this sick. I have been sick starting in October. I have good and bad days but last time I had a bad day I had to go to the ER. I'm only fifteen so they can't figure out what is wrong. Does anyone have an educated guess?\nSymptoms:\n-Fatigue (sleeping for 12 + hrs)\n-Migraines (almost daily)\n-constant head aches\n-dizziness\n-anxiety/ nervousness\n-nausea\n-slight stomach pains occasionally....\non few instances I've had a bad cough and congestion..\nAny guesses?

Hi There, I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose, I can suggest a few things though.  Has your doctor ran blood tests to rule out thyroid, anemia, infections, etc?  How has your blood pressure been?  Do you take any medicines? There are so many things that can cause those symptoms, so I'd say rule out anything they can with blood work, watch your blood pressure, get a chest and sinus xray, and get your ears checked out, heart tests, and if none of that shows anything, maybe allergy tests.  If all those are negative, it could be stress, or something like fibromyalgia.  They really need to do more of a evaluation on you.  Have you been exposed to anything last October maybe at school?  paint fumes? any building remodeling?

sounds like a bad cold or the flu to me. Go see a doctor and he can tell you everything you need to know. In the mean time you can get lot's of fresh Vitamin C (fresh lemons, oranges) and use the menthol rub and some throat losenges. Drink LOTS of water or Powerade. Eat some light soup, like chicken soup. (Not dark soup) But regardless of whether you fell like you might be getting better, go see a doctor and make sure it's not something serious.\n\nIf you have alot of phlem in your lungs, Mucinex works great(the GREEN pack, not the blue one) Hope you feel better!

you must be underage so, you or someone else will eventually have to tell your parents cause you need medical and other help. talk to your school counselor or the teacher. \nJust tell them that hey, I've been feeling really sick and i think i know what it is but, I'm scared. and they will take it from there.

If you can't see your family Dr. until Monday, I'd recommend going to a 24 hour clinic or emergency room.  If the dizziness is so severe that the accompanying nausea has prevented you from getting any hydration or nutrition, you need to get stabilized ASAP.  \n\nIf the dizziness is a spinning sensation (vertigo), it's probably your inner ear- again a number of things can cause it; a viral or bacterial infection of the inner or middle ear, a rupture in an inner ear membrane that leads to Meniere's disease, or loose particles within the inner ear that cause Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Even neurological problems like Migraine headaches and strokes can cause dizziness and balance problems.\n\nBe sure to provide as many details as you can to help pinpoint the cause. Include: when did the symptoms start? Did you have any other symptoms related to the dizziness (headache, ringing or other noises in the ear [tinnitus], pressure or pain in the ear/s, nausea/vomiting, visual changes, etc.)? Did you have any prescription changes in the month preceding the initial onset? Had you been ill in the month preceding the initial onset? How long do the episodes last? During an episode, what does the "dizziness" really feel like? Is there anything that seems to trigger or signal an episode? Is there anything you can do that seems to help you feel better? Does anyone else in your family history have similar symptoms? Have you ever had similar symptoms, or a history of ear problems before?\n\nDizziness and nausea is like a headache or fever -- it's a vague symptom, and getting a detailed case history is really the best way to narrow down options and select diagnostic tests.  But don't wait any longer to get checked out, because the sooner it gets properly diagnosed and treated, the better your chances for a complete recovery.

Go see a Dr and get a blood test... It'll help ease your worry.  I've not heard that being a symptom... but only a Dr can tell you for sure.

Your symptoms you describe could apply to several different things.  You should really see a doctor in person for an exam and possible labs or chest x-ray.  \n\nA lot of these things can depend on your age.  If you are 20 years old, it might be something simple that can easily be fixed with antibiotics.\n\nIf you are older, it might be symptoms of a potential chronic disease.\n\nSince your symptoms listed could potentially apply to numerous different things, I wouldn't even try to hazard a guess over the Internet.  See your doctor.\n\nI am not a doctor.  I am a nurse.\nGood Luck to you!\nRobin

Sounds to me that you've got what almost everyone else has had on the east coast ... I too have experienced what you have and had along with the ringing & ear blockage - Its a pain and you'll get very frustrated - seems to me that it appears to be a strain of the flu -\n\n1.  Air circulation (open windows as soon as you can)\n2.  Throw out your pillows and/or bed accessories or disinfect them with Lysol or Red cross spray (put them in the dryer for 1/2 hour)\n3.  Wash your linens two or three times a week\n4.  Get new toothbrushes\n5.  Get disinfectant wipes and wipe down your entire apartment or as much as you can\n6.  Antihistamines witll stop the post nasal drip that causes the build up in your lungs (where the infection is living) - just remember it puts some people to sleep - so be careful\n7.  Drink liquids (water mostly)\n8.  Get up and stretch at random times (this will help with the circulation to yoru arms and legs (it will eliviate some of the tingling/numbness you are having\n9.  Take showers - this will warm your muscles and help you breathe better and make you, in general, feel a bit better\n\nHope this helps!

Firstly, I am NOT a doctor --\n\nBased on what I have read, though, I would definitely (and immediately) see a doctor, because there is always a possibility of this being a sign of a larger problem.\n\nGet to feeling better! :)

You definitely need to see a doctor.  While anyone can guess what is going on, only a doctor who examines you can tell you for sure.  So, make an appointment asap.

How long have you had these symptoms? It sounds like your body may be fighting some kind of viral infection like influenza. What is also very apparent is that your immune system is working overtime which is why you are experiencing the fatigue, aches, unstable body temperatures, over production of histamine (which may explain the nasal drip). For now, listen to your body: rest and hydrate. MED-LINE, WEB-MD, and the MAYO CLINIC, are excellent web-based resources for self-diagnoses. Remember it always better to have some idea of what's going on with your health prior to consulting a professional.

you should tell your mom to take you to a doctor (if you are a minor- otherwise take yourself.) If she won't take you to the doctor maybe you should discuss this with a school nurse who would be able to tell your mom to take you to a doctor. But it does sound like you could be sick. You might just have depression or something like that... but it could be something worse too. good luck

Could be the flu.  Take tylenol for your fever and a decongestant (sudafed, for example) to clear out your head.  Just like they always tell you: plenty of fluids to clear out your system, a big dose of vitamin C couldn't hurt, either.  SLEEP.  If you're young, take advantage of sick days from school.  If you're not, doctor yourself up as my mom used to say, and deal with it.  Get a cute friend to make you some chicken soup.

I believe I would try to go to the doctor and explain that you did have what you thought was a self-diagnosed ear infection and stayed home for two weeks because of it.  It may cost you the price of an office visit but it may be worth it to save your grades.  I would think twice before taking any more time off of school for any reason, even if you feel sick in the future.  Let your teachers see that you are glad to be there and that you are going to be there, regardless.  Maybe if they see you exerting some effort, they will be less likely to request a doctor's note next time.  Good Luck.
