Weird bug or blood pressure problem?

I have woken up today and felt awful

Feel like my eyesight is somehow off and not as clear

Extreme fatigue

Feel dizzy and like I'm going to collapse at times. Might sound very OTT and probably is but I feel dreadful up and about

Weird nausea and feel weak in my joints

I took my blood pressure out of interest and it's 149/69. Pulse is 89 resting so normal range

Blood pressure could obviously be a bit better but it wouldn't cause these symptoms, would it?

I just feel so strange. I think I am folate anaemic again and asked for a blood test last week but yet to hear anything which is about right timings wise

Have been including lots of folate rich foods but I always end up bloody anaemic again!

Anyway, I'm not about to die am I? Grin I am hoping GP surgery will be back to me today or tomorrow for a blood test form to be handed over: they're really good usually

I had something similar. It turned out to be type 2 diabetes.

@ohsuzannah sorry to hear this.

Interestingly I was pre diabetic 3 months ago but didn't think it could turn to type 2 so quickly when it was a borderline result

Will be seeing GP about it now, thank you
