What Causes Sharp Shooting Pains Throughout The Body?

I have random sharp shooting pains throughout my body. I am also always very sleepy. even if i sleep in, i feel like i want to stay asleep, and about 3-4 hours after i wake up, i am already fighting to stay awake. I am very forgetful lately, which I ve never been , and its really hard to stay focused. i have to really work hard to follow a conversation, and even then i usually forget half of it.. this is so unlike me.

Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to vitamin D deficiency or a metabolic disorder (anemia, thyroid gland dysfunction, etc.). For this reason, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels). You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
