Always tired and now vertigo...??
Question: A couple months ago, I started feeling VERY tired every day (fatigue). No matter how much sleep I got, it doesn't help. I wake up extremely tired and am tired all day long. I try to eat well and take care of myself. Just recently, I'm having bouts of dizziness. The tiredness makes me feel like I am in a fog and is affecting my work.
I don't think it's Chronic Fatigue because I don't have sore muscles or a sore throat, and do not have a fever.
Anybody experience the same? What the heck is this??
Answers: I have same experinced you have now. My Dr. told me that I have a vertigo. There is no cure for that. I have to be careful what to eat, and take a lot of health pills. I don't know if this is true. I have always been so tired, even though I eat well. I have been seen Dr. many times for 3 years now, and they really don't know what it is. I just have to put up with it. I wish I could give you a advice, but I don't know... Hope you will find what is wrong with you soon...
It sounds like it could be motion sickness.
I had really bad motion sickness and it caused severe nausea, fatigue, and dizziness.
You can take the over the counter anti-histamine Dramamine for it. I will make you sleepy but it will help tremendously.
( Take it before bedtime and get and go to bed a couple hours early. )
Ginger root pills are also an excellent way to relieve motion sickness but you should only take one or two a day. They will not cause any drowsiness.
You can get them at Wal-Mart by their herbal pills and vitamins.
Wow, there's a huge spectrum of possibile health conditions that could accompany your symptoms. Some that come to mind are Type 2 Diabetes, Vertigo with no specific origin, Mononeucleosis, Depression, High or Low Blood Pressure, thyroid problems, Sleep Apnea, etc.
I'd start with seeing a doctor who will probably order a complete panel of blood tests and a physical. If blood work and a physical show nothing wrong, then it may be something more along the lines of sleep apnea or depression.
Do you have a partner beside you when you sleep? If so, you should have him or her take note of your sleeping behaviors. Do you toss and turn all night long? Do you snore? If you sleep alone, then perhaps you can video and audio tape yourself sleeping. Sleep apnea can cause sleep interruptions that go unrecognized. No matter how long you think you are staying asleep, a person with sleep apnea will still feel tired and foggy the next day because they didn't get anywhere near the sleep they thought they did.
You said you experience dizziness...meclizine, which is alone is a prescription medication, can also be found in motion sickness over the counter meds such as Bonine or Dramamine. An easy way to determine if you actually have vertigo is whether or not the room around you spins when you have your bouts of dizziness...also, have someone look at your eyes when you feel the dizziness come on...your eyes will flick back and forth uncontrollably.
