In recent weeks, despite planning for 9-10 hours sleep a night I have suffered from a strange fatigueing condition where I wake up after a light sleep with a slow growing numbing headache. Then periodically, I get an empty wasted feeling in the centre of my body and dull pains in my lower back. Most of the time my energy level wavers between just ok to very low but never gung-ho as it once was. My eye lids and brow sometimes twitches uncontrollably and accompanied by a weird blood drain feeling in my face.
I used to be an active competitive sportsman a few years ago and professionally I work as an electronics consultant. My last project was very tough and took around 60-70 hours a week for a duration of 6 months. I have not worked for 4 months since then and have spent my time doing leisurely recuperative pursuits, due more to the global financial crisis.
However, it seems as though that titanic schedule has only just taking effect on my mind, body and resources. I have had blood and urine tests, full health check-up and nothing untoward has been found except slightly high cholesterol levels which is no surprise as I have not done regular exercise apart from walking vigorously everywhere in the last 2 years. I have an excellent organic diet and use vitamin and mineral supplements sensibly as RDA.
My Doctor was unable to shed any light other than that from his opthalmoscope. Can somebody share any thoughts on this strange condition, if you have suffered similar symptoms and can help me find a way to deal with it properly?
