Light Sensitivity in eyes, Body fatigue
During night time I get afterimages in eyes after looking at flashlights or any bright lights. I also have weakness in legs while walking. I have weakness in hand if I hold something for long. When I look at bright lights, I feel them sensitive to my eyes and see the negative afterimages in my vision. I'm feeling fatigue, leg pain (mostly below knee), sometimes I feel lightheaded and dizzy. have IBS D but from some days I'm feeling very sleepy all day long. I have done my vitamin tests. My Vitamin D is 28.55 ng/mL. Vitamin p12 is 447 pg/mL. Vitamin A is 426.42 ng/ml Vitamin E is 7834 nd/mL. Vitamin K is 0.38 ng/mL. My TSH is 3.62. Hemoglobin is 11.1 g/ dL. I feel dizzy when I get up from my chair or when I do little yoga or activity. I have muscle fatigue as well. I take 8 hours of sleep daily still have this. I see floaters in my vision and at night I see afterimages when i blink or close eye after looking at the flash lights or bright light in the morning. I feel low in energy.

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your symptoms, including light sensitivity, afterimages, leg weakness, dizziness, and fatigue, could be linked to multiple factors. Some possibilities include:
Vitamin Deficiencies: Your Vitamin D is on the lower side, which may contribute to muscle fatigue and weakness. A supplement might help.
Anemia: Your hemoglobin is slightly low, which can lead to dizziness and fatigue. Checking your iron levels, ferritin, and B12 may provide more clarity.
Neurological Causes: Persistent afterimages and floaters, especially with leg weakness, warrant an evaluation for conditions like optic neuropathy, migraines, or neurological disorders. An ophthalmic and neurological assessment would be advisable.
Thyroid Issues: Your TSH is within normal range, but if symptoms persist, further thyroid function tests may help.
Gastrointestinal Issues: IBS-D could lead to malabsorption of nutrients, exacerbating deficiencies. Addressing gut health is crucial.

**Opinion:**
Your symptoms—afterimages, light sensitivity, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, and muscle fatigue—suggest a possible combination of nutritional deficiencies (especially Vitamin D and iron) and underlying conditions like anemia or thyroid dysfunction. The afterimages and floaters could be related to eye strain or migraines, but they warrant further evaluation. Your Vitamin D level is low (28.55 ng/mL), and your hemoglobin is borderline low (11.1 g/dL), which may contribute to fatigue, dizziness, and weakness.
**Next Steps:**
1. **Consult Me for a Detailed Evaluation:** Schedule an appointment to assess your symptoms comprehensively. We’ll need to rule out conditions like anemia, thyroid issues, or neurological concerns.
2. **Address Nutritional Deficiencies:**
- Start Vitamin D supplementation (as prescribed) to bring levels to optimal range (>30 ng/mL).
- Consider iron supplements or dietary changes to improve hemoglobin levels.
3. **Eye Examination:** Visit an ophthalmologist to evaluate afterimages, floaters, and light sensitivity.
4. **Monitor Symptoms:** Keep a symptom diary to track patterns and triggers.
5. **Lifestyle Adjustments:**
- Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to bright lights and take breaks during activities.
Let’s work together to identify the root cause and improve your energy levels—book an appointment for personalized care. Early intervention can make a significant difference!

It's normal for everyone to see after image on closing eyes after seeing a bright flashlight.
This is not an issue... but sensitive to bright light which causing you pain or headache needs to be evaluated.
Your vit D is deficient for which you need to be treated.
Your muscle pain fatigueness might be due to that...
Kindly connect for further management and clarification.
