What Causes Memory Loss, Headaches, Fatigue And Lightheadedness?

Loss of memory, Extreme headaches, extreme fatigue, light headed to the point I will fall now, joint pain and weakness. I know I might be missing somethings, and low grade fever. I have had these symptoms for a while now. It seems to be getting worse. X-ray two years ago showed an abnormality in my brain, MRI showed nothing. Recent blood work and ultrasounds of kidneys and thyroid are good. What could this be?

Hello!

I read your question and understand your concern.

I think that the symptoms you describe may be related to a possible rheumatological disorder depression.

Have you measured your blood pressure ?

Extreme fatigue, light headedness and fainting may be related to low blood pressure or chronic anemia.

An adrenal gland insufficiency and fibromyalgia could also cause similar symptoms.

I recommend you to consult with your GP and perform a routine blood test, blood electrolytes, cortisol plasma levels and closely monitor your blood pressure.

Rheumatological tests ( like ANA, ANCA, ENA, sedimentation, Rheumatoid factor, etc) are necessary to exclude connective tissue disorders.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings! Dr. Aida
