    Haven't been feeling great. Any ideas?

    I've been feeling pretty crappy for the past week or two. Off and on I get sick to my stomach like I could throw up and shakey feeling. Like weak feeling. I could feel fine and suddenly I feel like I could be sick. It's an awful feeling. Its hard to concentrate at work. I just want to go home and sleep. I've been to the doctor and was told it's likely because I stopped my blood pressure medication. She said my pulse was fast and could give me the jittery/shakey feeling. I started the medication again on Friday. I still don't feel any better. I've been checking my blood pressure all along and it's been fine. Today it was 119/89. My pulse is still fast around 95. I also checked my blood sugar and it's also normal. Those are the 2 main things that come to my mind feeling like this. No idea what is going on any suggestions?

    Have you ever had a tick bite? Have you been checked for Lyme Disease?

    I don't think I've ever been tested for Lyme disease. I don't spend a lot of time outside. I don't think I've been bitten by a tick for that reason

    Okay, have you been eating carefully? Making sure to drink enough liquids?

    Just knowing you have canines in your life, if they ever get a tick, it can get to you ....

    I haven't got any ideas, but I hope you will be feeling much better again shortly!

    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    I tend to agree with Karen. There are so many symptoms and you certainly need to be diagnosed by a Dr. I can only suggest that you write down your symptoms. Put it in your purse just in case. Go to the Dr. Depending on where you live if you go to the emergency room, they tend to get on things. Otherwise I am sorry for your illness but take charge and deal with it. Clearly your symptoms are frightening you and stressful. And also, you really need to see a professional when it comes to illness, no one on the internet has a clue, and sometimes peeps say the damnedest bloody things??? These are complete strangers on the internet.

    I agree with mon. Write down all your symptoms and see a doctor, not the "internet doc". I would also request a complete bloodpanel.
    I hope you get to feel better.

    I went to a walk in clinic today and the doctor said it was probably a summer cold. I don't think that's what it is honestly...I've been sick a lot lately. It doesn't feel like a normal cold either. Just really tired of feeling like this. It's so hard to concentrate at work. Had to leave this morning and come home
