What Causes Off Balance, Dizziness, Loss Of Apetite, Thirst, Heart Flipping And Body Pain?

Good day, I am 32 year old mother of two. I have been feeling drunk, off balance, dizzy, no appetite, thirsty, heart flipping, body pain mostly on my left and my back rib cage. Double vission and sometimes strugle to focus. Blood tests done for all things logical with no answers. Lasting 5 weeks already. I get so tired that i can hardly drive within minutes. Could anybody direct me into a direction where I could find a cause! Thank You

Hi,

Some of your symptoms could potentially be consistent with a state of elevated blood sugars on a chronic basis and this could give you some of the problems you're describing such as double vision, thirst, tiredness, and feeling off balance.

The left-sided body pain is not well explained by any particular common diagnosis. You may also check that your thyroid function is adequate by asking whether your FT4 (Free Thyroxine) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) have been checked.

If just the TSH has been checked you may consider a request for the FT4... it makes the thyroid screen more sensitive for problems as opposed to only the TSH which is the majority of clinicians choose for a "quick and flipping dirty screen" in most otherwise routine situations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
