Brief Answer:
Possible acute viral gastroenteritis...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The blurry eyes you are experiencing and tingling in head and neck pressure in temples are related to oscillations in blood pressure. I advise to check your BP twice daily, record the results for future evaluation by your doctor.

As the doctors in ER reported to you, the gas cramping in stomach might be related to acute viral gastroenteritis. I advise to:
- take more rest
- drink more water
- take simethicone for gas
- use probiotics
- take your medicines for high blood pressure as prescribed by your doctor
- take pain killers (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc.)

Wish fast recovery! Do write me back if you have further queries!

Brief Answer:
Acute viral infection...

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Weakness in body (and mainly to legs) might be related to:
- common viral infection
- vitamins deficiencies

Simethicone is usually sold as over the counter, however, you can ask at your local pharmacy if they sell it as over the counter.

Probiotics are certain supplements that contains healthy bacteria of the bowels. It is important to get a normal balance of intestinal flora for proper functioning. When this balance is broken, problems occur (as in your case). Probiotics can help re-build the normal intestinal flora, thus, giving a hand in improving the symptoms.

Weakness in knees might be related to:
- standing sit for long time (your knees are not moving meanwhile)
- arthritis
- muscle stiffness

Your blood pressure is fine, so your problems are associated with viral infection (which is also having gastrointestinal manifestations as well as general symptoms).

Wish fast recovery! Let me know if you need further clarifications!

it seems I get this weekness and weird feeling just before I know I have to poop then it goes away after I go

Answered by Dr. Dr. Klerida Shehu (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
further diagnostic tests are needed...

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Feeling weak and weird before having to poop might be related to abdominal distension due to gas. Once gas and poop comes out, you will get relieved.

Furthermore, you are at a stage of life (menopause) where you got more sensitive and easily emotionally involved. This makes you feel more sensitive to such problems and you get weak.

At this point, I would suggest to run some diagnostic tests to determine the right diagnosis:
- colonoscopy
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal/transvaginal ultrasound
- vaginal swab testing and pap smear
- urine analysis
- complete blood work
- thyroid and other hormones tests

Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
