Is tiredness, hearing and sight problem due to herpes virus?
Patient: I was diagnosed with herpes zoster virus around my eye back in December since then I have noticed my hearing and eyesight on that side becoming worse I have also had irregular periods feel the cold a lot more than others but seem to have trouble regulating my body temperature as it keeps creeping up to 38.6. I constantly feel tired however I have been told it is because of the herpes virus I am currently taking antiviral medication carbomazipine and naproxen all for pain in my lymph nodes however there is no swelling present. Do you think this is all related to the herpes virus I had 4 months ago or something new altogether? Doctor: Thanks for asking i healthcaremagic forumIn short: you may be suffering from Post herpetic neuralgiaExplanation: As you said herpes virus can involve ear and eye causing hearing loss and corneal erosion. But it has to be confirmed by examination by a doctor.                  Herpes can cause pain post infection for many months to years in the distribution of the sensory nerve. I think your doctor has prescribed you carbamezepine and naproxen for that only.                  Go to your doctor and get yourself investigated for any new problem which may be causing tiredness and rise in temperature.                  All the best.
