I feel extremely lightheaded...Not sure what's wrong with me!

[AmieK]

So, before I begin, I think its important for you guys to know, I'm 21 and I've always had problems with my weight, I've always been under weight, never being able to gain weight, and loosing weight over simple stuf like stress and things like that! I get lightheaded fairly easy!

Now for my problem. Four nights ago, I went out for a night on the town (something I don't do often) I did not have much to drink and was completely fine by the time I went home! The next day I spent the hole day in bed as my boyfriend and I had a big fight and I wanted to be left alone. I got up at about noon and could feel my bloodpressure went way down, that what the worst it has been my hole live! I went back to bed and called my mom, she discoverd that I have a fairly high fever and gave me some meds and I tried to sleep it of! That night I did not feel much better and thought it would help if I ate something... I couldn't even get two bites in, and since then, I'm not able to eat, even when I'm starving! I still feel extremely lightheaded and my fewer comes and goes! I'm really stressed out!

Please help!

It's impossible to tell exactly what your problem may be just from the information you gave. If you have fever and feel lightheadedness, the best advice is to call a doctor.

Lightheadedness can have many causes, for example, stress. However combined with fever, it may be something more serious.

The underweight condition may occur in different circumstances. It could indicate that you have and underlying disease that was not properly diagnosed in the past.

The fact that you had been unwell for the past 4 days clearly justifies seeing a doctor. If you have proper medical insurance, you have nothing to lose. At least, it might give you the answer why you cannot gain weight.

It's clear as day that your symptoms resemble a serious issue with your thyroid and I would highly recommend seeing an endocrinologist right away, but first a few question:

Do you have any other symptoms (i.e. frequent urination, chest pain, joint pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, rashes, hair loss, balance/gait problems, clots, mouth ulcers, vaginal dryness, blurry vision or yellowing of skin)?

Thyroid problems?

Why don't you go see the doctor? it sounds life threatening.

Go to a doctor.

No one on the internet can diagnose your problem from just that information. It would be just guess work.

drink lots of water and let the fever pass.
