What Does Blurred Vision, Excessive Thirst And Frequent Urination Indicate?

For the last 3 days I have been experiencing very blurred vision, excessive thirst and frequent uirnation. Also every time I try to eat I get very sick to my stomach. Ther is also a little numbness in two fingers and part of my arm on the left. I have also been extremely fatigued and lethargic.. I have also been having extreme pain in my left thigh(front and back and my lower leg . When I get in the car to avoid the sharp pains I have to lift my left leg in the car. Sometimes the pains are so severe I want to cry. It feels like the muscles are tightening and constricting. Help.

Hi,

The symptoms you have described, such as blurred vision, excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea, numbness in fingers and arms, extreme fatigue, lethargy, and severe pain in the left thigh and lower leg, may indicate several underlying medical conditions.

One possibility is that you may have developed diabetes, either type 1 or type 2. Diabetes can cause blurry vision, excessive thirst, and frequent urination, as the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels. Numbness in the fingers and arm can also be a sign of nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels.

The pain in your left thigh and lower leg may be due to peripheral neuropathy, another complication of diabetes that can cause nerve damage and muscle weakness. Other possible causes of your symptoms may include a urinary tract infection, a kidney infection, or a nerve compression in the spine.

You must seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment. A healthcare professional will conduct a physical examination and may recommend additional tests, such as blood sugar tests, urine tests, or imaging studies, to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Based on the diagnosis, your healthcare provider will recommend the appropriate treatment plan, which may include medication, lifestyle changes, or referral to a specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
