Background: lifting seriously for 8 months
Seven weeks ago I had to wait outside in 30 degree weather for 2 hours in a polo shirt and jeans. Next week I went the gym, however I had to drop the bar during my squat because I was getting light-headed. When I feel sick and have to quit the gym early, I steam with anger.
Anyway I visited my doctor and he prescribes a Z Pack antibiotic. He said I had a sinus infection. A week passes and I’m still sick, so I called him up for another check-up/antibiotic. A prescription of Avelox, a stronger antibiotic, is given to me. One and a half week pass, however I still feel light-headed, experience headaches. I knew that I wasn’t myself because I would get out of breath, dizzy after doing trivial exercises, i.e. walking up a flight of steps.
Feeling sick, I saw a better doctor who told me to take Augmentin, a stronger antibiotic, and Rhinocort, a steroid. Following the completion of this dosage, I still feel sick. He says I need a Cat scan because I experience headaches and still feel light-headed often. Plus, my sex drive isn’t as extremely high as usual( I’m 21 years old). So, I go to get the Cat scan, but the damn script wasn’t faxed correctly.
Note: I don’t hide from the gym or want this break. I don’t feel the same as before this sickness.
How should I deal with this issue?
Cliff notes: sick for 7.5 weeks with sinus infection, symptoms: light-headed, gets fatigued easily, awaiting cat scan, haven’t lifted in 7.5 weeks, pissed off.
