I'm starting to get pretty desperate. I'm waiting on an appointment to see a neurologist (it takes weeks to see one apparently) and recent blood tests came back ok/normal.
I'm extremely fatigued and constantly feeling cold. I have lots of "cold" spots on my body - tops of legs, shoulders, arms and am struggling to feel warm. I was told to stop my blood pressure meds about 2 weeks ago as it went a bit low. But after just over a week it was creeping back up - so I'm back on them. This weekend my blood pressure has been up and down like a yo-yo and my pulse rate has been high. My resting pulse is typically high 50's to mid 60's but has been up in the high 80's and as high as 101. I feel awful.
I was tested for inflammation and thyroid issues - both ok although told my inflammation was borderline at 1.76 and Dr said it was nothing to be concerned about when I queried what it meant. My fasting blood sugar was 5.0 so pretty pleased with that. My Dad has told me to phone my surgery tomorrow and get an emergency appointment although, strictly it's not an actual emergency - think he's more worried than me.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on or experienced similar?
Oh, and I'm overweight as opposed to underweight! I'm also diet controlled only for my type 2.
