Really not feeling like myself and feeling very ill

I am 26 and a mum to an 8 month old. I am really struggling with eating. I feel sick when I eat and feel better if I force it down. I then feel better for about half an hour and then feel sick again. I'm exhausted. I know I'm a mum to a little one but this is beyond exhaustion. I could nap all day and still sleep all night. I can actually feel my eyes shutting when I'm changing her nappy. I'm constantly thirsty. And all I want is sugar. Orange juice or full sugar cola.
I took a pregnancy test on the off chance and both came back negative. I had a period 10 days ago so I'm thinking that's very unlikely.
I rang the doctors who told me no appointments because of covid and if I'm worried to call 111.
I dont think it's an out of hours gp thing. It doesn't feel like a hospital thing. It's been going on for 5 days. And I'm starting to worry

Please call 111, I do think you need to be seen.

It sounds like it could be simple exhaustion or it could be something rather serious and a whole range of stuff in the middle.

Please do see a doctor, however you can. Don’t worry about what is and isn’t “worthy” of out of hours etc. Just see a doctor.

They can’t tell no you no appointments due to covid. You have a right to be seen. Ring back and ask to speak to the practice manager and tell them you will be making a complaint if they absolutely refuse you healthcare GP’s are frankly taking the piss over this now.

I have had about 25 GP appointments since the start of the pandemic. GPs are working as normal, except they are not seeing many patients in person.

That sounds like diabetes, see a doctor and have some tests. Its very dangerous untreated.

MadgeMak · 22/04/2021 19:22

My first thought was diabetes too. Please insist on seeing a doctor.

jellyfishinatent · 22/04/2021 19:24

No appointments because of covid?!?!

LoopyLoux · 22/04/2021 19:25

I'm really concerned you have diabetes. Please pester your GP!

flossletsfloss · 22/04/2021 19:25

I thought diabetes too. Do you have a blood sugar test kit?
