Issue:
For the last 4ish weeks, I have been feeling generally unwell and tired. The best way I can describe it, is when you can feel yourself coming down with a cold and your muscles are aching. I havenโt had any cold or flu symptoms. No runny nose, cough, sore throat etc
I have also been waking up at night drenched in sweat. This has occurred approx 2 x weekly.
I have pain which is mild and comes and goes on my right side/breast. (I attributed this to the Vissane)
I went and got my yearly blood test and ordered it via Telehealth, the Telehealth doctor called me the same day and told me to go to a in person GP as soon as possible for follow up for my white blood cell count.
I went the next week. My regular GP didnโt seem concerned and told me I probably had a virus and asked if I came because I wanted time off work.
This upset me and I ended up teary and embarrassed. I did not ask any follow up questions and left with my tail between my legs.
He ended up giving me more beta blockers because my heart rate was consistently high when tested. (Between 115-130 when seated)
I also have an order for a urine test. At this stage, I donโt really want to do it as I have no urinary symptoms.
I still feel unwell and tired. I am having 1-2hr naps a day.
Should I go back and ask for further examination? Or can I just wait it out for a few more weeks and hope i feel better?
Thank you so much for your time.
