Physically drained??

I put this as anonymous as many of my friends are on here

In the past two weeks I have been feeling really unwell:

My bones ache

I can’t breathe properly at times- particularly when I wake up

Sometimes I feel faint- I can’t walk in straight lines

I feel really drained

I get really random aches around my body

Random stomach aches

Can’t smell or eat fatty foods- makes me want to puke



I don’t know why I am like this. Recently as I started my a-levels I have been really stressed to start on a high and do really well but instead I feel all the pressure I am putting on myself is harming me physically.
And today I went to a theme park and when getting off rides I could not walk correctly I was walking in different directions.
I am going to the GP on Tuesday but does anyone know what could be happening to me?
Also in 2006 I was anorexic but I have fully recovered. Could this be taking its toll on me now?

Any help will be really appreciated

thank you

This might be something minor and I don't think that worrying over wild guesses at your condition by random strangers is really the way to go. If you can't wait until tuesday, I'd suggest contacting someone qualified. I don't know if NHS direct can help with this sort of this thing, but it might be worth a try, their number is: 0845 4647

i agree with above, i can think of one or two things it could potentially be but its best to wait and see what your gp says. just make sure you eat ok, drink lots and get enough rest in the mean time.
