It would be irresponsible for anyone to attempt to diagnose your problem.  Someone may have had similar conditions and found a solution for them, but each person is different.  The fact that you've posted your question indicates your level of concern for this matter.  You should consult with your doctor regarding this matter.  A physical with blood tests should provide information for properly treating this problem.\n\nI wish you the best of luck and health.

HI Angela are you under alot of stress/pressure at the moment and feeling tired or overcome even with simple things. Has your weight changed recently and did you get you blood sugar levels checked recently in case of diabetics.\n\nHave either your mother or your young sister ever presented similar symptoms as to the dizziness, blackouts foggyness forgetfulness and feelings of unreality.\n\nYou don't mention having pain or feeling fatigue or sickness. I have the symptoms you explain except the blackouts and other smyptoms. I have also pain that migrates fatigue sickness and mood swings and numbness. I am diagnosed with Fibromyalgia/ME since 2000. I know other Fibro/ME suffers who have regular blackouts with the symptoms you present plus pains fatigue mood swings and numbness. \n\nThis is difficult to diagnose and nothing shows up on scans etc which can seem to the un trained lay person or doctor in some cases (all in the head and the patient is depressed or lazy)\n\nTry to relax a bit and not dwell on this until you get the results of the brain scan back I know it not easy for you but worring can't do any good.\n\nTake care around machinery and do not drive and take it easy hubby's can some times make you feel worse at times like this if they don't support you or have compassion. \n\nAsk him to help out more and not hurt it doesn't work explain to your young children that mummy is feeling poorly and loves them very much but just needs to go slowly and cant rush about like a bat.\n\nHope you get the help and answers you require to take charge of a very frightening situtation. \n\nTake LOL.

Alot of things could cause tiredness. But at 55 you should still have plenty of energy.  Best take your question to a physician's office and get a complete physical complete with blood count, you sound anemic.

Is this a 'wish' or is this happening to you? There is such a thing as early onset menopause, so that could be the problem. Sure you aren't pregnant? Hormone replacement and birth control can cause this too.

Wow you're lucky.\nDepends, how much do you weight? \nIf you're at a good weight but still tired, treatment for fatigue could be a chance in exercise regime or diet. Maybe more outside activity - \nIf you're underweight and fatigued, eat more. \nIncrease omega-3 consumption. Increase Lean protein consumption. \nSoy products are like dreams :)

could be pregnant, could just be the changes in your life--more/less stress, more/less exercise, more/less eating, different women your around, more/less sex, more/less drugs or alcohol

There's something going on with your hormones. Too much or too little estrogen or some other hormone. Pregnancy does this to women; so does menopause. So do certain medications like steroids, fertility drugs, etc. It isn't common for a 23 year old to start menopause, but it's not unheard of either. It's worth checking out -- try WebMD, first.

Elaine, first thing is to ensure that your TSH is within normal limits, I am sure your doctor is on top of that. Secondly things as simple as anemia can also cause fatigue, have yourself evaluated, sleep apnea, stress depression, are other possible common causes in young adults, besides hypothyroidism, ask your doctor if you have already been evaluated or if you could be one of those with two reasons for fatigue, good luck

I would not try anything different without consulting your doctor first. There are many effects that may arise when your body is already changing due to pregnancy so you need to be so careful and cautious.

anemia..insomnia...diabetes...\n.infections (flu...etc)..low metabolism >>>>>>>>>\n\nTackling fatigue\n\nFirst and foremost, you need to ensure that you lead a healthy life. This means a good diet, exercise and plenty of sleep. \n\nVitamins and minerals are necessary for many of the body's processes, and a healthy diet ensures your body can function at its best. \n\nIt may sound strange, but lack of exercise can increase feelings of fatigue. If you're not used to doing exercise, long walks are a good way to start. Exercise that involves all the major muscle groups is recommended, eg swimming...\nif it continues...consult a doctor! besT of luck

This is likely to be a thyroid case, based on your history of fatigue, heart flutters, mental dullness, weight gain, etc. Problem is, it doesn't seem to correlate to either hyperthyroidism (excessive) or hypothyroidism (less) because of contrary symptoms (although, I will admit that these symptoms are not steadfast).\n\nApart from that, the other likely cause for fatigue and heart flutters could be long-standing anaemia.\n\nDo keep an eye on your menstrual cycles & see if they're still regular/ irregular and of your normal flow or if they've dereased in quantity.\n\nTreatments for either thyroid or anaemia is good. Most patients are in normal health status within 3 months or so, with good patient compliance. \n\nDo get yourself checked by a medical professional without delay. A 'few years' is already a long time to contemplate a visit to the doctor's.

You need to boost your system with a lot of fresh fruit and veg.  build your energy levels back up.  however be aware that a long viral infection could lead to chronic fatigue syndrome.  give yourself a month to improve and if you are still feeling tired or things get worse consult your doctor.

Stress is probably the number one cause of irregular periods. However, assuming your age is 50, you very well could be in the early stages of menopause. Most women women start to experience symptoms as early as 40 years. If you have any doubts or are worried about menopause, talk with a doctor. As far as HRT's go, your doctor should be able to tell you if you need them. They may not even be right for you. In the meantime, relax, take a luxurious hot bath with lots of bubbles and slow down. Let your brain unwind. Talk to your doctor or gynocologist. They are there to help. Best of luck to you

It may just be anxiety attacks, but you should visitor the doctor first of all just to make sure.  If it's anxiety attacks, then stop, take big deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Imagine breathing in calm and breathing out stress.  You should continue this for a few minutes and feel better.  If you try this now and it works, then it probably is just stress, in which case, you can buy some Bach's remedy and put a few drops under your tongue whenever you feel this coming on.  Then do your breathing.\n\nI've just seen your additional notes.  I had an irregular heart beat and this was picked up during pregnancy.  I think pregnancy puts extra strain on the heart.  You really should go to the doc asap.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Sounds like perimenopause, the runup to actually going thru the no-periods change. I'm in the same boat! Try snakeroot (Eleuterococcus) and soy isoflavons to help with the sweats and mood swings, they really do help a lot.\nNot much fun, esp. on those days that you can burst in to tears if someone just looks at you. Speak to your gynae soonest. The younger you start your periods, the younger you stop. I started this at about your age...not pleasant. Best of luck.

Well if you are on any drugs right now that could be affecting you!  I know I was on a drug and it made me so incredibly tired!  I am now off that drug and I am great!  If this isn't the case perhaps you need to try energy drinks or see if you are getting enough iron!  Iron is very important and a lot of women are lacking in this department!  Try eating some foods high in iron like broccoli and nuts!  Good luck!  I know how horrible it is to be tired!  Also try planning things to get you excited!
