Can Anyone shed some light?????

Hi,

this is going to sound silly but I'm wondering if anyone can offer some advice. For the past few months now I have been feeling quite drained and tired most of the time, but recently I have been having funny turns where I feel faint, i get pins and needles and feel nauseous.This is becoming more regular now in the last few weeks especially. I went to the doctors about it and I was sent for blood tests for Diabetes etc... but they all came back negative. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms to this. I feel silly going back to the doctor about the same thing again when they found nothing the first time...

Advice anyone???

Go back to the doctor. Blood tests can be to rule out other issues.

Pins and needles can be a symptom of both nerve problems and of circulatory problems. The fatigue, faintness and nausea can be realted to either condition (though more often haematological issues).

If you have regular episodes try keeping a diary of everything you did and ate for a couple of weeks too. This will help in any differential diagnosis and could turn up a root environmental or dietary cause (caffiene, food allergy even environmental toxins in your work place).

Either way, go back to the doctor and dont be afraid to press them for a solution or more tests.
