Random Exhaustion?

3 Replies

So I've been having this issue for a while, but its starting to get A LOT worse.

Pretty much I've been having really bad exhaustion spells. They include dizziness, nausea, weakness, stumbling, blurry vision, being unable to walk properly, and other things.

I'm not completely sure what is making it happen. Its been going on for a while, maybe at least four months? I know its been at least that long because it was going on during the last two months of my last job. Anyways, with the heat that has been happening this summer it has gotten worse. Which I completely expected, I sweat a lot when physically working, I got that from my dad. I've had to have Xander help me walk up the stairs, across the room, catch me from falling, etc. But now that it is cooling off, the exhaustion is still bad. It's gotten to the point where today I couldn't get up after sitting down to change because I was falling trying to put on pants. Xander had to help me walk down the stairs, drive me to work, help me walk to work and to my desk, to my manager's office to have me talk to him and the assistant manager, and bring me my meds from the apartment. I asked my Manager if I could go home. I'm a leasing consultant, so I need to be able to walk CONSTANTLY. I have to show apartments, find packages and take them to residents, go to the filing room to put files away and grabbing them to bring to my desk, even just going to the printer to scan a file to be sent to my computer to upload. I had to have the maintenance guys drop me off at my apartment since Xander dropped me off and had to go to work.

I feel bad because I literally got this job about three weeks ago and I'm already failing at it. Since I am a full time employee, I get a 20% discount on rent living here. If I went down to part time, I would only get 10%, plus make less money. Xander also works, but I don't want to put most of the weight on them for living 😥

I'm not entirely sure what to do. I had both a blood and urine test from my doctor, and both came back normal. I don't want to lose this job, especially because it's because I literally can't walk properly 😖 I know accommodations are sometimes given, but I'm not one to want to ask for help.

My usual way to deal with this is to push through it, as I was taught during when I grew up. But it doesn't work with this, which is makes me more frustrated. I try to walk without help or leaning against anything, and it doesn't work. I'm just not entirely sure what to do.

I don't know if my BPD is connected somehow though. I've been switching more and more lately. Even though its not always Alex, it still keeps happening. Maybe it's because I'm exhausted or stressed? I'm not sure.

Has this happened to anyone else where extreme exhaustion comes out of no where? If so, how do you guys deal with it? Anyone have any suggestions also??

If you are tired and dizzy you need to go back to your GP and explain your problems again

Blood Pressure can be low or high, they can be tested from sitting to rising, the blood pressure from the legs can cause problems as other parts of the body. The problems can be quite variable so you may need to be fitted with a machine to check what is going on throughout the day, the machine will check for various blood pressure problems

How old are you

I'm 20 years old. I also don't understand it very well because I'm an active person

Consider seeing your Doctor get checked over.
