What's wrong with me?!?

Any ideas? I've booked to see the GP but want to know if I should be pushing them to do bloods.

  • sweating, uncontrollably. Just comes on suddenly
  • insomnia
  • hair loss
  • oh so very very tired all the time
  • brain fog - I struggle to think critically and just forget things all the time
  • upset stomach (the runs!) almost daily
-unexpected and quite nasty bruising especially on my legs

I'm only 34!

I imagine they will want to do bloods, it sounds like me when I had untreated Hypothyroidism.
I hope they find out what the problem is & you feel better soon Flowers

Ohhh I've just looked at the NHS page and I have some of the other symptoms which I didn't mention like super heavy and irregular periods plus dry skin/brittle nails. I didn't really think they were relevant. Some of the others don't quite fit but I'd semi-convinced myself it was early menopause.

Thyroid probs

olidora63 · 14/07/2021 17:40

All symptoms could be thyroid symptoms!

Oneearringlost · 14/07/2021 17:51

Over active thyroid?

Pantheon · 14/07/2021 17:54

Thyroid or possible celiacs would be my (non medical) guesses

absolutehush · 14/07/2021 20:38

Well, I have been sent for bloods so we will know in a few days!

Googling does suggests thyroid - I had avoided google because I get a bit anxious. Thanks everyone!

That’s great you are getting bloods, do you know what all the blood tests are for?
Let us know how you get on.
