72 Years. Fatigue, Anxiety, Unstableness While Walking, On And Off Twitching In Legs, Blurred Vision, Sudden Blackout. Explain
I'm a 72 year old active healthy woman. In the past 3/4 weeks I've experienced the following symptoms:
1. Unusual Tiredness
2. Heightened Anxiety
3. Low physical energy
4. Unstableness when walking and walking slower than usual
5. Occasional Twitch sensation in legs
6. An episode of Blurred Vision
7. Momentary Brain Fog
8. A sudden, unexpected fall, a short visual blackout and then an upset stomach
Any idea as to what all this could mean?
Much appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have gone through the list of symptoms that you provided. There are too many of them, and you require a detailed and careful examination to come to a conclusion. A few diagnostic possibilities I would consider are:
1. Vitamin B12 or D deficiency,
2. Hypothyroidism,
3. Low blood sugar or sodium
4. Less blood flow to the brain, etc.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
