Was wanting opinions from Nurses, Doc’s and other healthcare workers what could this illness be?
My father is a 61 yr old male who recently started to not feel well he had just been feeling "crappy" as he put it. So he went to the doctor they told him he might be diabetic so they tested him made a diagnosis and put him on diabetes meds. He continues to feel crappy and his blood sugars are fine so doc checks his Thyroid and tells him he’s Hyperthyroid and he needs to see a specialist. Meanwhile my fathers symptoms get worse he now has, Itchiness all over his arms, Tired and Weakness all the time, Constipation with Diarrhea (alternating), Sleeplessness, Extreme sweating, coughing with nausea, and difficulty swallowing or unable to swallow at times, and also he’s lost 70lbs in the last 2 months unintentional. What could this be? And why couldn’t his GP doctor just give him some medicine for his over active thyroid. I have hypo thyroid and i never had to see a specialist they just gave my some synthetic hormones and sent me home. I am really worried about my dad and he’s getting sicker everyday plus the dumb specialist won’t call him back he missed their first call to set up an appointment because he was at work and they called his house when he called them back the receptionist was hateful and told him you don’t call us to make an appointment we call you. Its been 2 weeks now and my dad is sicker than ever and their supposed to call today to set up an appointment, what could be wrong with my dad?

I’ve been in a new country for 2 weeks and I’m sick every day?
I’ve been living in South Korea for 2 weeks now after flying half way around the world. Within days I developed a chest cold and every morning since I’ve had these symptoms:
-fatigue
-constipation (with small, soft stool)
-nausea
-upset stomach/mild bloating
I always feel worst in the morning/mid afternoon and, oddly enough, better in the evening/night. I went to the doctor and had blood tests done — the results were normal.
I drink lots of liquid and can only eat a full meal at night. I eat healthy, exercise lightly (lots of walking), and sleep well enough.
What’s wrong with me, and how can I get better? My digestive system feels out of whack and ginger doesn’t seem to do the trick.
Thanks in advance!

Do I have P.O.T.S? How will I know?
I was diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension . I tested positive on a tilt table test after 3 long months of being dizzy, lightheaded, fatigued, and then passing out. I got the diagnoses after the tilt test of course, but, as I read more about pots, I can’t help but wonder if I have that. I am so tired all the time. I also have stomach issues. A lot of bloating , constipation, and it all seems to fit more with pots but, it seems that most doctors have not heard of this. I am tired all the time. And I am taking midodrine for my blood pressure, but, i still feel like the doctor is missing something. I just don’t feel normal. I also experience vertigo attacks on occasion. any help please!!

i have been feeling really weird lately and need help figuring it out?
I have had a low grade temperature, headaches, nausea, lower back pains, body aches, hot flashes, vomiting and constipation. My doctor said that it was nothing serious so i didnt have to go to the hospital he said it sounded like signs of pregnancy. But i am not pregnant and i know that for a fact. I took a pregnancy test a while ago because i thought i was but i wasnt. I havent had sex since then so that is not possible. But he thinks that i am. I would like to know how that is possible if i am not having sex right now?

Erroneous Diagnosis Report?
Well to make a long story short I have been suffering with migraine headaches nearly everyday now for 4 months consecutively and I am being seen by a neurologist and an ENT. ( to no relief) The neurologist has prescribed a slew of drugs that mask my pain (and I refuse to take them as they interrupt my life more than the actual headaches) so FINALLY as my patience began to wear thin with my neurologist and his unprofessional-ism e.g. : not listening to my worsening symptoms as he reads the chart, not going over test results, 5 minute consultation, and taking personal cell phone calls while he’s supposed to be hearing me out, handing me prescriptions as he’s talking on cell while escorting me out with hand gestures, and the MOTHER LOAD is this: when I had enough I thought to ask receptionist for copy of dignosis to look over myself because doc was obviously to busy she complied and handed me a copy. As i skimmed the report I found MAJOR fallacies within the diagnosis report! Things like I had diabetes, (I don’t) that I had lumbosacral nerve damage, (never checked for whatever that is) that I had such and such BP (never had vitals done there) that I had little mobility in my feet and ankles (but I don’t, and my reflexes were NEVER checked) and that I had a sinus infection due to mucopurulent drain (which I never had) the list goes on and on! He even put I had constipation due to meds, which I NEVER CLAIMED due to I never took the meds longer than one day! When he was nowhere to be found I asked the receptionist what could be done about this and she "quickly" shushed me to a room and said "hold on I will get you the other doctor" (which by the way happens to be HIS physician assistant DAUGHTER) she tried to un-do the "damage" prescribed me more meds then requested more tests. My question is this:
1. Has this ever happened to you?
2. Is this normal?
3. Would you feel safe in these hands?
Thank you for reading, sorry so long.

I was told I have aneimia on the phone? What does that mean?
I have to see the doctor about it soon as they just told me this on the phone. They’re gonna give me a prescription as well. What does it mean? Anymore info before the appointment will be great. I’m a bit impatient. Basically what it was is that I went to see a doctor about my stomach, it turned out I’ve had fecal impaction, constipation. And they gave me blood tests and found I have anaemic. Sorry about the spelling.
I’ve haven’t suddenly decided to go vegetarian, I’ve always been one. It is probably the case that I’m eating all the wrong foods. I can’t eat meat because my body just won’t take it. I’m not even gonna try.
I’m 24 btw.
I went to the doctors although I didn’t get to see my dr I got a prescription. It was a folic acid deficiency.
