I am so tired, on every level.... I'm exhausted all the time lately. I keep loosing weight even though I am eating more, and I'm eating healthy high calorie foods. I can't sleep for more than an hour or two at a time even though I'm exhausted. In fact, just a few days ago I was outside doing yard work... granted it was a lot of heavy stuff for over 2 hours in the hot sun, but I felt like I was dying! It didn't even hit me till a hour after I came inside, but all the sudden I felt so weak.... my blood pressure went extremely low.... my granny checked and it was at 56 systolic over 38 diastolic. That's very close to coma levels for those of you who don't know. I've always had a very low average blood pressure, but that's ridiculous! I felt like I really was dying! Now someone PLEASE inform me of what the hell can make a 28 year old woman's blood pressure drop so damn low so fast! I've felt really weak and have passed out many times before, but this was SO MUCH stronger than anything I've ever felt. And I didn't exactly pass out either.... I could see and hear what was happening though it was muffled and hazy. It was like I was looking and hearing through a telescope.... very weird. I was so weak I couldn't move or even speak. It was like I had run full speed up a mountain it was so hard to breathe.... I felt numb all over. I could feel my heart pounding and beating irregularly. I also had pain and pressure in my chest.
I went to the doctor a few days before that and he ran all kinds of blood work to check my thyroid, blood sugar, liver, kidneys and red and white blood cell levels, but everything came back normal. I've spent hours online looking for what it could be.... it could be anything from something minor such as Anemia, to something life threatening such as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack), or mini stroke! WTF!?

I REALLY should have let them take me to the hospital after that happened.... but I felt fine, just really tired and I insisted on just going home. I haven't felt quite right since either.... I can't seem to concentrate, I'm really fatigued and my tremors are terrible. And I just don't feel like my normal self... I'm not sure what happened, but I NEED to find out what caused it. I'm going to my doctor tomorrow....
