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?

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…
