Feeling Faint And Weird

[Scarlett]

Asking for more advice!
The last couple of days I’ve had flickering in my inner ear. I thought it was wax. Today I’ve felt fatigued and faint on and off all day. Like I couldn’t tolerate hunger. Dizzy like I was going to faint. Top lip is a bit numb. I’ve drunk water and eaten. No sugar and low-ish carbs as usual. Felt like my eyes focus was off. I’m 50- could it be hormonal? I never usually get faint or dizzy symptoms.

It's impossible for anyone, even a GP, to diagnose over a website - call your surgery for some advice.

My daughter had weird symptoms like that a week ago. I just put it down to a virus. Could be hormones, too. If you're worried, ring your gp tomorrow.

Sounds a bit like hypoglycemia ("No sugar and low-ish carbs as usual") is a bit of a clue.

Two things spring to mind, an anxiety state but more likely as suggested by Patsy above, viral infection.
Keep up the fluids,rest and monitor the situation over the coming weekend.

Thanks for replies. I’ve been low-ish carb for months so doubt it’s that. Andy- I don’t want to bother my GP at the mo, they are only dealing with emergencies so I was really just curious so came on here. Sqad- how are you? I’ve missed you! I’ve shielded for 11 weeks and not seen anyone so really hope it’s not a virus- don’t see how I could have caught one!
