What Cause Decreased Articulation And Constant Hunger?

-decreased articulation/processing -forgetfulness -constant hunger/thirst -frequent urination -blurred vision -hearing loss I am a high school girl and all these are very SUDDEN. I have a doctor s appointment in a few days, but I was just trying to get some generalizations before then. The past couple months I have had a sudden decline in my school work. I was a straight A+ student and now it s down to Bs and A-s. It takes me 2-3 times as long to do my work now. I was also a very articulate person with very good comprehension. Now I have to re-read things over and over. I m having difficulty finding words, using the right words and just making the right sounds. The rest of the symptoms I listed are self-explanatory. Please help me figure this out. Thank you so much!

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I read your question and understand your concern.

Your symptoms may be related to a metabolic disorder (hypothyroidism, or related to the pituitary gland) or another brain lesion.

I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination and some lab tests :
- a complete blood count
- blood electrolytes
- fasting glucose
- thyroid hormone levels, including TSH
- cortisol plasma levels, including ACTH
- blood and urine osmolarity

A brain CT scan or MRI may be necessary to exclude a possible lesion of the pituitary gland or any other intracranial lesion, that may be related to this symptomatology.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings!

Dr. Iliri
