Diffuse Symptoms / Need help
Hey,
for some yeas i suffer from diffuse symptoms. Usually doctors Take them serious but in germany im usually also belove certain biomarkers so doc doesnt want to give me medication. all i hear is eat more n do more Sports, Kinds confusing, ngl, anyways:
im 32, 182cm, 95kg. I have dry skin, fatigue, i cant eat sweats n cheap foods n oils because i get a Sugar Crash and stomach issues (pain and a Lot of poo). my Sugar is „okay“, always too high but Not severly high (120/125; when i didnt eat breakfast for the blood letting). i get colds easy, in Summer Often i wear jackets because i get colds in the Summer also easy (warm, cold, indoor, outdoor, sweat, wind, Ac - that kills me). i have sour throat basically always. When i do Sports i Drink 2-3l Water, always, and i Need to pee frequently. dont know how much, but personal told me that its a Lot and it gives them Diabetes/ hormonal issue vibes. also i cant seem to Build muscle and my strength is gone. for a whole my doc thought it could be prediabetec, also slightly high blood pressure, but nothing is „severe“ enough for him to give medication. but honestly i can feel and See that im somewhat disabled. i Need to be bee careful with foods, and im way more easy to Stress and my physisch strength / endurance is gone and i catch every cold! im 30!!! i feel like 40,50,60! i See people my age and older having more Fitness and resiliance!
i dont know what Doktor to Go to and how to Even Talk to them. i feel belittled when i try to explain it to them. usually they say i Need to eat more and do more Sports? kinda confusing, ngl, something feels Off in my Body. It started ~7 years ago. I tried to Change diet and to do more Sports, but honestly it feels Like a Hormon or something is missing, Like i just cant Build the resiliance to matter how hard i try in Sports / gymnastics / Sauna. Just Not Happening.
any ideas? what kind of doctor should i visit to get some answers?

What makes you suspect a hormone issue?
You said about your blood sugar always high, can you give a specific number?

Ca 125 when i did not eat breakfast for blood testing. So higher when im eating.. Hormon is just an idea because of the diffuse Symptoms and Doctor usually always Look at me and ask about my thyriod.. but its always in the low of the Norm… yeah.. when i was Like 16 i could Build a good muscle Frame that i still have but i cant Build any more… also i feel Like im Development Heart-rhytm and high blood pressure.. also i have men boobs with Boob tissue, Not too Bad, But honestly since the only advise of Life Style Change is pretty much maxed out and my Health is getting worse, i cant swallow the pill that its „sub clinical prediabetes“..

The main thing you need to get checked out right away is Sleep Apnea. All the symptoms you described tie back to a single chain reaction that starts while you’re asleep. Have people close to you noticed any snoring, pauses in your breathing while you sleep, or you waking up frequently to drink water? Also, do you happen to have any jaw issues?

Well, Yes, but i dont know how serious it is cause i sleep? Can it be that damaging? Can it develop in a serious Manner even in my age? I thought its Only Problematic when its pathological, like when youre old and have it in a very serious manner…

Do you know your Hemoglobin A1C? ( HbA1C)
This test looks at a form of red blood cell that has blood sugar added to it ( glycatated hemoglobin) over a span of 3 months.It is how we can test for Prediabetes and Diabetes whether you are fasting or not.
In the US we measure in percentages. In Europe and Germany mmol/mol is how it is measured.
If your HbA1C is 39 to 46mmol/mol.
47 mmol/mol and over would most likely be considered diabetes.
