What causes tiredness, nausea, headaches and sweats?
Patient: My husband was at his gp complaining of tiredness , nausea, headaches , sweats and lack of energy. He is otherwise very fit and healthy 49 yrs. no ph , urinalysis nad awaiting results for thyroid, LFTS CRP fasting blood glucose NAD . We are going on holiday next week abroad which deeply worries me as he is so miserable with the above complaints . Suggestions would be most appreciated Thankyou Sharon Jones Doctor: Hello!Thank you for asking on HCM!I carefully read your question and would explain that his symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder (adrenal gland dysfunction, thyroid dysfunction) or inflammation (including a chronic infection). I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible cause: - complete blood count and sedimentation rate- blood electrolytes- cortisol plasma levels- liver and kidney function tests I recommend you to closely monitor his body temperature during the day and refer the values to his doctor. Further tests may be needed if suspicions of a chronic infection are raised. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Best wishes, Dr. Iliri
