Intense sleepiness come on/nausea/dizzy

2018-03-08 12:55:01
The past three weeks, I’ve had excessive sleepiness and dizziness, sometimes nausea, and tingling/muscle weakness with it, suddenly come on during the day at least twice. I’ve had at least 7-8 hours of sleep, except twice in the last month, so I was wondering if allergies can cause this, they’ve been especially worse this season. Or maybe I was getting over a cold, but it’s hard to focus and get work done, and it seems to happen randomly while I’m driving, waking up, or during work.

Hi The symptoms that you describe are common for women in your age group suffering from megaloblastic anemia i.e Folic acid deficiency. Kindly get your folic acid levels as well as your heamoglobin levels tested.
