Always tired, heart palpitates, can't stand ANY sort of heat, feel dizzy ALL THE TIME...what could it be?!
Question: Always tired, heart palpitates, can't stand ANY sort of heat, feel dizzy ALL THE TIME...what could it be.?
I know I should probably go see a doctor, but I just want an idea of what the problem could be. I used to think I was just lazy in high school gym, or the reason I couldn't work out without feeling like I'm about to die was just cause I'm lazy, but it seems like it's more than that. I'm 20, 5'10, 145lbs and I get exhausted really easy. Just taking a shower gets me feeling dizzy. If I raise my hands, my heart rate goes up and I get dizzy/light headed. I feel like I've worked out for 3 hours straight just when I walk around for 10 mins. I always have to have constant cool air blowing directly into my nose or else I feel like I'm suffocating. Any ideas of what this could be.? This has been going on for as long as I can remember. My mom says I'm lazy, but I know it's not just that, something's wrong and I know it.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
If could be a thyroid disorder.
Hyperthyroidism causes "heat intolerance." You are also pretty skinny, another sign of hyperthryoidism. Any thyroid disorder can cause palpitations.
So go to a doctor. That physician should do blood work (TSH to check for thyroid disorder, CBC to check your blood cell count, and CMP - Complete Metabolic Panel - to check for electrolytes, LFTs, etc).
Thyroid disorders are easily treated and you will feel MUCH better.
Good luck! Remember to describe ALL of the symptoms to your physician.Health Question & Answer

The first thing that came to my mind was a thyroid disorder, but if you're stressing yourself over the symptoms, they're going to be magnified.
For your own peace of mind, go to your GP/doctor and get yourself checked.
I did last year when I was having palpitations - I had an ECG and loads of blood tests, all came back normal, and just knowing this has almost totally stopped the symptoms. I just get the odd "flutter" when I'm stressed or have had too much caffeine.Health Question & Answer
