Reason For Tiredness, Extreme Eating Pattern After Surgery?

Since minor surgery on my ankle 5 weeks ago I am constantly tired, have no energy, extreme eating patterns. Then this weekend I have started having sharp pains in my eye and then blanking out for approx 5 seconds- I am still awake my vision just goes. Following these black outs approx 7 times per day I am having bad lower abdominal pain? I am concerned and have a GP appointment tomorrow.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of a minor surgery on ankle 5 weeks ago and since then have been tired, no energy and extreme waiting patterns. This week have sharp pains in eye then blanking out for approximately 7 times per day and have lower abdominal pain...
The minor surgery may not be related to the present problems that you are suffering since there is a gap between surgery and the present problems.
I would advise you the following:
Clinical evaluation and examination by your GP as you going to meet.
Please insist on investigations of blood, urine and stool along with ultrasound of abdomen.
Also ask for referral to an Ophthalmologist just make sure that the eye problems is due to ophthalmic reasons or due to some general disease.
Once a proper diagnosis is done, management can be possible.
