Whats Going On Now

[Hells Bells]

I wonder if anyone has any idea whats going on, I have been getting pasty looking, fatigued and recently when I stand up quickly I get dizzy. I am cold all the time but fatigue is my biggest thing. I am gluten free apart from the odd accident. I thought cold was due to thyroid, but now not sure. My blood pressure seems lower than it usualy is 105/70 usualy I'm at about 130/75, I got so dizzy I thought I was going to faint.

So can anyone help this 42 paranoid celiac, convinced I must have cancer or leukaemia or something, thats why I don't want to go to my doc, they always say its all in my mind anyway.

Oh also having real trouble sleeping.

Thank you everyone

Have you been tested for anemia? I had all of your symptoms--and found out that my hemiglobin was at 8. Just 3 months before, it had been at 11.5.

I had all of the symptoms you describe.

Yes, I agree. Get your iron levels checked. It also sounds like your metabolism is too slow. I have the same problems you describe. Try taking extra virgin, cold pressed coconut oil and flaxseed oil regularly. I was surprized how the metabolism picks up and the cold feeling fades away. Try it, you'll be surprized.

I agree. I would have your Iron checked. I have been struggling with Anemia for about 8 years. I have had 4 children, all c-sections, and my level was 6 before my last one in 2005. I was put on Iron Pills, which irritate my stomach. I try to eat lots of greens and red meats when I feel tired or dizzy. It seems to help short term. I believe it is still best to know and check iron level. Good luck

I do, still, feel cold, dizzy, and tired frequently. I am not convinced that it is the Iron Deficiency. Mine is around 10.5 normally now. I think it has to be something else. I have had several expensive tests, exams, x-rays, MRI, c-scan of everything from my head to my bowels. Nothing has turned up, aside from the anemia, celiac, and IBS. If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Thanks
