Rabies exposure through bats

How to know that whether bat had bitten you while you were asleep cause I have read that bats give microscopic bite and we can't able to feel it it also leave such a small mark that it disappear on it's own. So suppose a bat bite you and then it went outside your home then how will you get to know that you are exposed to rabies.

Feeling diziness

Hello Doctor, I have been experiencing dizziness on and off for some time. When I stand up or walk, I feel unsteady, as if I might fall. I also experience the same sensation while sitting on a bike or in an e-rickshaw. There is no spinning sensation, but I feel a loss of balance. I recently underwent a full body health check-up. Some of the important findings are: * Vitamin D: 13.7 ng/mL (Deficient) * Vitamin B12: 167 pg/mL (Low) * Platelet Count: 117,000/µL (Low) * HDL Cholesterol: 23.7 mg/dL (Low) * LDL Cholesterol: 131.4 mg/dL (Borderline High) My blood sugar tests (Fasting Glucose and HbA1c), thyroid profile, kidney function, and most other blood tests are within the normal range. Could these abnormal values be related to my dizziness and balance issues? Please let me know what could be the possible cause and what further evaluation or treatment you would recommend. Thank you.

Shortness of breath, excessive yawn

Hi doctors. Since yesterday, I've been feeling like I can't take deep breaths, even while standing and doing basic tasks like showering. I have been diagnosed with allergy, PCOD, GERD, migraines and was also given anxiety medications once. I try to take deep breaths and end up yawning, or getting incomplete yawns. Day before yesterday, at night, I had a stressful event with my family, which ended in me crying for an hour or so. Please advise on how to feel better, as this is really bothering me. All my focus is now on trying to take a full breath, instead of my other tasks.
