I have been experiencing general fuzziness for about 4 years, since the birth of my last (third) child. There are many minor symptoms that doctors are not concerned about but that add up to make me miserable! My symptoms are...
Occasional dizziness from mild to severe - usually short lived
Fuzziness - difficulty holding thoughts, a feeling that I'm not connected to my body.
Lack of motivation
Exhaustion - I can sleep 14 hours and still want a nap!
Vaso Vagal episodes - sweating, dizziness, tunnel vision, I have to lay down or I will pass out.
I am now 15 weeks pregnant, the first trimester was the worst I have ever experienced with vomiting, exhaustion, constant nausea, dizzy spells, and occasional shortness of breath. I was medicated for pneumonia, but there were no physical symptoms other than minor coughing up of blood and 6 week history of a cough that started with a sever cold. My O2 levels were at 99% and the doctor couldn't hear anything in my lungs.
I assumed the second trimester would leave me feeling better - I have always felt wonderful during pregnancy - and the nausea and vomiting are gone. But I am still suffering from almost constant headaches, general fatigue, lack of motivation, dizziness, and shortness of breath that comes out of nowhere. I often feel disconnected from my surroundings, and - this sounds weird, but I don't know how to explain it - it takes about 5 - 10 seconds for the world to catch up when I move...especially when I roll over at night. There is a drag in my vision that is accompanied by a something like a free-fall feeling. The more I move, the less that symptom is apparent. My jaw has also been locking on the left only, and occasionally when I bite down without thinking about it it will pop really hard. That has caused occasional feelings of a balloon being filled in my ear, or warm oil being dripped in it.
I have had general blood tests run, as well as an echo to check my heart (I have a very minor MVP). All tests came back normal.
But I KNOW something is wrong! I have always been healthy and active, now I worry about pushing myself to clean the house because I don't want to pass out while I'm alone with my 4 year old. My family is suffering because I don't have the energy to play with them, my house is a mess, and I'm starting to feel depressed.
I am cautious to stay hydrated, drink small to moderate amounts of caffeine, try to eat well, and have been trying to keep a positive attitude.
If anyone can relate, has had a similar experience, or has any advise, please post. I'm at my wits end! Doctors aren't taking anything seriously because all of my symptoms seem so minor and blood tests come back normal. I am starting to wonder if it is psychological! Please....
