Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Do Recurrent Episodes Of Dizziness, Fatigue And Fever Indicate?
I keep having reoccurring episodes. With an upset stomach, dizziness, headache, fatigue, and running low fever. It can last hours. The pain in my stomach is usually in the middle of my stomach towards the top. Here lately it seems to hurt all the time but the other symptoms come and go less frequently. Last time was about 2 or 3 months ago.
I would explain that it is important performing a comprehensive differential diagnosis between different possible causes that may lead to your symptoms (cholecystitis, gastritis or an ulcer, pancreatitis, thyroid gland dysfunction, etc..). For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- An abdominal ultrasound
- A resting ECG
- A chest X ray study
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- Blood electrolytes
- Kidney and liver function tests.
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.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
