What might be happening

Based on the information you have provided, possible diagnoses include:

• Fibromyalgia: This is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. It is often triggered by a stressful event, including physical stress or emotional (psychological) stress.

  • Treatment usually involves a combination of medications, exercise, stress management measures, and healthy lifestyle habits.

• Vitamin D Deficiency: Low levels of vitamin D can cause bone pain and muscle weakness. However, such symptoms can be subtle and go unrecognized.

  • Treatment involves vitamin D supplements and ensuring you get enough sunlight exposure.

• Hypertension: High blood pressure can cause headaches, shortness of breath, and dizziness. However, it usually does not cause pain.

  • Treatment involves lifestyle changes and medications to lower blood pressure.

• Gastrointestinal issues: Your severe stomach pain could be due to a variety of gastrointestinal issues, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, gallstones, or pancreatitis.

  • Treatment depends on the specific condition and may involve dietary changes, medications, or in some cases, surgery.

• Anxiety or Stress: Physical symptoms can sometimes be signs of mental health issues, such as anxiety or stress. These can cause a wide range of physical symptoms, including pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

  • Treatment involves stress management techniques, therapy, and medication if necessary.
