Hello @emilystewart30

I am so glad to hear that you have a doctor's appointment next month. I would encourage you to take a list of all of these symptoms with you to the doctor's appointment. The list is important because when you have a lot of symptoms, many of which seem unrelated, it is often difficult to remember them all, especially when you are anxious.

I see that @parrot53 and @farmersmith have already offered you some suggestions. I'd encourage you to eat as healthy as possible, take short walks or other exercise that you enjoy, drink water on a regular basis throughout the day. All of these suggestions will help you as you wait for your appointment.

Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?

Hi, thank you for responding. I want to think I’m eating healthy, I haven’t really been eating junk food or fast food, and I drink water but probably get around 32-64 oz daily. I’ve been trying to go for walks and I go maybe half the days or not more in a week. I’ve been doing about the same, but I should see a doctor because I’m concerned about what’s been going on. I’ve felt off like something isn’t right, and part of it is stress but I think a big part of it is that I’ve had symptoms and haven’t done anything to deal with it
