The afterimages and sensitivity to bright lights, along with the weakness in your legs and hands, can be concerning, especially combined with feelings of fatigue and dizziness. Your symptoms, including lightheadedness upon standing and muscle fatigue, may suggest a few different underlying issues that warrant further investigation.
Given your history of IBS-D and the recent changes in your energy levels, it’s important to consider both neurological and systemic causes. The afterimages and floaters in your vision could be related to a variety of factors, including visual disturbances or migraines. Your vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D, might also play a role in overall energy and muscle function, even though your levels are not critically low.
The fatigue and weakness in your legs and arms could stem from several potential causes, including nutritional deficiencies, muscle-related conditions, or even neurological issues. Your hemoglobin level is on the lower side, which could also contribute to feelings of fatigue and lightheadedness.
Next Steps
A thorough neurological examination and possibly order additional tests like MRI brain and spine may be required after examination
