I've not been feeling my best for a while, and I'm considering going to the doctor. It's just a question of whether it will be worth it to pay for everything insurance inevitably will refuse to pay for. I always avoid going to the doctor for that reason.
I hope some of you can shed some light on what I've been experiencing, and whether it is serious enough for me to go to the doctor, or normal. I have not consulted a doctor or nutritionist since starting my new lifestyle, but I haven't been doing anything super drastic. I've been counting calories and eating cleaner foods. I try to stay around 1350 calories a day, and I measure all my food. I have not eliminated any particular foods (carbs, proteins, or fats).
I have been very low energy (even after upping my calories for a day), almost space out during every day activities, my weightloss has stalled for about 2 months (hovering in the same 3 lbs), and recently my scalp has become itchy and I've been losing more hair than usual the past week or so (my husband says my hair looks fine, maybe I'm being paranoid). I also had a very strange TOM this past week, it's usually normal but this time I lightly spotted for 2 days, the third day I lost almost everything and felt so sick I was dizzy and shaky all day with incredible pain, and then it was over. Not typical for me at all.
My Mom told me to get my cholesterol levels checked because they were high when I was young, I haven't done that yet but I am planning on it as soon as I get my new insurance card.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, because I just have this feeling that something is not right, and I'm not sure what to do.
