  • Treatment typically involves psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication, or a combination of both.

• Depression: This is a mood disorder that can cause persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest in activities. It can also cause physical symptoms like fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and forgetfulness.

• Hypotension (low blood pressure): This can cause dizziness, especially upon standing up too quickly.

  • Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, such as increasing water and salt intake, and sometimes medication.

• Neurological conditions: Conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's disease can cause a variety of symptoms including difficulty with speech, forgetfulness, and muscle weakness.

  • Treatment typically involves medication to manage symptoms and slow disease progression.

Please note that these are just possibilities and not a definitive diagnosis.

What you can do

1. Consult a healthcare professional: They can provide a formal assessment and order relevant tests if necessary.

2. Monitor your symptoms: Keep a symptom diary noting when your symptoms occur, what you're doing at the time, and anything that makes them better or worse.

3. Practice good self-care: Ensure you are eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep. These can all help improve your overall health and may help with your symptoms.

What you should look out for

Reasons to seek immediate medical attention:

• If your symptoms suddenly worsen
• If you develop new symptoms such as severe headache, loss of vision, or difficulty walking
