Always feel bad but medical tests always normal

Hi I have this problem where I always feel unwell. Nausea, dizziness, headaches (especially at the back/top of the head), and I get this awful tiredness that makes me feel like I’ll fall over.

All this sounds bad, it IS bad but can’t be too life threatening as I have been to and fro the GP surgery and hospital for blood work, scans and tests, and despite how bad these symptoms present with me nothing ever shows up! Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy and imagining it all but when it happens and the symptoms are at their worst I am reminded that it is all very real and as unpleasant as it sounds.

I am anxious and because of the autism I do suffer with sensitivity, and I am sure this doesn’t help matters. What I’m struggling with is that the GP couldn’t find anything and for that reason there is seemingly no help with these problems. So when it happens I have no good ways of alleviating the dreaded symptoms. It’s much a case of put up, shut up, wait for it to improve which it normally does after a couple of hours. A good nights sleep always helps, in the morning I feel a lot better, not perfect but I do feel better. I never feel completely refreshed after sleeping but I at least don’t have that nagging exhaustion that hangs on to me for dear life.

If anybody else here suffers from this, or some of what I have explained, please let me know how you cope with it. I am at a loss and have found this affects me every single day! Not every day is severe but every day is bad enough that I had to quit work – they were going to let me go anyway – and I can no longer be as physically active like I used to be. Not without it crippling me with the symptoms I mentioned.

If you’ve experienced this and have any tips please let me know.

Thank you!

  • I found this article this morning. I don't know where to out it but thought it'd fit here. I think it'd merit its own thread but i dont have the inclination tp do it. I would also be interested in what   thinks....

    Sensitivities affect the general population. As I understand it, autists have a more delicate fight or flight response. I suppose I'm saying this article represents what I'm trying to explain below. Things which (as humans not just autistics) we are "used to" are not natural and harming our health. Which could have a stronger impact on people whose brains are wired differently to the general pop.  The example here is sound sensitivity and its impact on health.
