For the past 2-3 weeks, i've been feeling dizzy or light headedness for most part of the day. I've lost my appetite and I feel uneasiness when I lie down. I also find it difficult to concentrate and I zone out frequently. From yesterday, I even feel a little pain in legs and knees while climbing up stairs. What reasons could be behind this, should I get some tests done?

Get your thyroid profile, cbc, blood sugar fasting, calcium checked from some lab. I need details of the case. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 2. Don't overeat 3. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of mixed dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5.
