Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Get checked out: if you're feeling the same way for 5 months it's probably not urgently dangerous. The combination of symptoms could come from a variety of reasons in a healthy 21 year old. Anemia, depression, thyroid abnormalities, hearth rhythm changes. First step is a good eval by a primary care doc. I hope you feel better soon!
