What Causes Swelling Of Body, Blurred Vision And Extreme Fatigue?
For the over the past month I have had a bunch of things wrong. My head and body swell up off and on, blurred/double vision, dizzy and weak, extreme tiredness, sometimes my eyes feel like they want to roll back into my head, labored breathing, confusion, memory loss, coughing up black/gray mucus, coughed up blood once, extreme sensitivity to sound and touch, yet numb feeling all over. The ER doctor a month ago said I just had low oxygen levels in my blood and told me to take b12 and prescribed folic acid

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling of body, blurred vision and extreme fatigue . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack , cervical problem or stress . Viral infection can also cause such problem. I would suggest you to take hot water bath with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination rule out any psychological problem and treatment . Doctor may recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for hormonal imbalance or ophthalmologist for vision problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
