stuff that is wrong with me

I left Husband at home enjoying some PS4 Time and tootled off to town for a bit of retail therapy, before visiting a couple of pubs for drinkie-poos and food with friends.
Town was jam-packed with Bargain Hunters. It was hot {despite the icy frost ... so pretty, so much sparkle} and busy and noisy and overwhelming ... I stood waiting, watching the people go by. The world was spinning.
I was woozy.
As I waited a man asked me to keep an eye on his bike for him. I did. I'm very sure that this same man has asked me to keep an eye on the same bike before. Much like the scene in Passengers which I'm very sure I have seen before even though it was only released at the cinema last week.
When I walk I hear a thumping {my heart?} in my ear. I look for the cause, but the cause is just me.
I have visited Google, despite my promises that I wouldn't do so again. Today he informs me that I have diabetes, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, tinnitus and some form of neuralgia.
I am so very tired. I sleep, but exhaustion still lingers, like a visitor who came for a weekend and is still with you three months later.
Walking in the dark, from the empty bus station to the bus stop, my dizziness attempted to make me stumble and cry. My adventure with friends seems like a long-ago, far-away dream, surreal and transparent. I was there, but I wasn't there.
I wasn't drunk. One Strawberry Daiquiri does not a drunk girl make.
I know, I know ... get thee to a doctor. I shall. One day.
Promise.

@poppylicious That's miserable. Is somebody telling you to slow down and take things easy? If not then I'm telling you.

But I am taking things easy! I haven't been at work for over a week and I've done very little since then!

You better have a doctor check on you now... you dont want to have more complications later if you wait. better catch it early. Hope you get better soon.

When Husband was poorly I was always going on at him to go to the doctor. It took a long time, but he finally went and was diagnosed with kidney failure. My MiL has been coughing since September and wouldn't go to the doctor for weeks and weeks ... her cancer has cone back. You would think I'd have learnt from those two experiences, eh!?

@Poppylicious Last August my mom contracted pneumonia. all she had was fever and she cant eat properly and when finally she decided to go to the doctor thats the time the we found out... but not only that now she have high cholesterol, low potassium and etc etc. the good thing was we caught it early so she just stayed in the hospital for almost 4 days and then have atleast every two months check up. She is now fully recovered and clear with her pneumo but since its really cold right now im monitoring her. That's why I do hope u check ur self with a proper doctor. :)

I am thinking of going to the doctor because of this cold that's been around for the second day now.

A cold that's lingered for more than 24 hours? I'll happily swap my symptoms for yours!

My iron is known to be low sometimes. We're having steak tonight so that might help!

At least I'm not suffering from those kinds of symptoms. I too put off going to the doctor....even when I was pregnant with my fifth child I waited until I was almost seven months before making a doctors appointment. Even then it was only so I could have a physician to deliver when the time came.

I often suffer from vertigo as a result of seasonal allergies. It always rears its ugly head unannounced and at the most inopportune times, and it scares the daylights out of me because my initial reaction is that something serious is wrong with me. But, after a take a moment to collect my wits, I realize it is something I can treat with medicine. I hope you are feeling better from your dizziness episode. Maybe you should have had two strawberry daiquiris!
