Unknowable: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor. This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Hard to say: Follow up with your doctor. That's the only way to be sure.
