I'm 41. For the past two months I've felt so run down and awful. Tired, wake up yawning and ready to go to sleep again. Achey. Digestion issues - gurgling stomach, sometimes left handed pain under my ribs (dull, rather than severe), bloating, being very gassy including burping a lot which is unusual for me. Now I have what feels like uncomfortable gas, like there's a bubble of gas below my ribs in the middle of my upper abdomen.
I've been having increasingly heavy periods for the last year and the gap between them is getting longer when it used to be like clockwork. I then got Covid which always screws with my periods, so now they are all over the place but still very heavy and painful.
Because of this I had full blood count plus Vitamin D, B12, Iron, Celiac testing, thyroid function, CRP and LH/FSH. I also had an abdomen ultrasound to look at my ovaries and check for fibroids. All came back clear or normal although I was on the cusp of the prediabetic range in my bloods.
I have anxiety so have been back on sertraline for a while and I was convinced a lot of these symptoms would clear up once the sertraline kicked back in but they don't seem to have. I feel drained from it all but GP isn't worried, told me to review my diet and exercise which I am doing.
Aside from that, not interested. I'm not sure if the scan looked at other organs ie liver, pancreas etc, I think it was just ovaries.
I wasn't anxious about it because I thought I'd get bloods back and find I was low iron or something but that hasn't been the case and now I'm starting to get more anxious about it because I'm just supposed to get on with it?
Help! Any advice? Anyone experienced the same batch of symptoms and can shed any (unqualified, obviously) ideas?
