Tired, back pain and cannot sit or stand for long. Diagnosed with Sinus. Hair is falling. Treatment?
Patient: I stay very tired, my back and neck hurt so bad I almost can't sit or stand for long periods..although I walk every day..and watch what I eat I still cont. To gain weight and stay dizzy..went to the e.r recently they sent me home with a severe sinus infection and told me my lymph nodes was swollen/enlarged..but I have felt like this for over a year now..my hair is dry and starting to just fall out and I am only 29 please help.. Doctor: Hi !Thank you for your query.Dear ,Looking into your problem i would say that you have provided very non specific history . Since you mention about no joint pains it is not arthralgia .considering your young age and history of hairfall along with sinus infections suggestive of weak immunity , iron deficiency anaemia and thyroid dysfunction needs needs to be evaluated first . You need to get a CBC , S. ferritin and Thyroid profile needs to be done. Third possibility will be to rule out any autoimmune disease, but first these two common causes needs to be evaluated.Hope you are satisfied with the answer.If you have any further queries feel free to ask.Wish you good health.Take care.Dr. Shruti
