-decreased articulation/processing -forgetfulness -constant hunger/thirst -frequent urination -blurred vision -hearing loss I am a high school girl and all these are very SUDDEN. I have a doctor s appointment in a few days, but I was just trying to get some generalizations before then. The past couple months I have had a sudden decline in my school work. I was a straight A+ student and now it s down to Bs and A-s. It takes me 2-3 times as long to do my work now. I was also a very articulate person with very good comprehension. Now I have to re-read things over and over. I m having difficulty finding words, using the right words and just making the right sounds. The rest of the symptoms I listed are self-explanatory. Please help me figure this out. Thank you so much!
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read your question and understand your concern. Your symptoms may be related to a metabolic disorder (hypothyroidism, or related to the pituitary gland) or another brain lesion. I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination and some lab tests : - a complete blood count-blood electrolytes- fasting glucose-thyroid hormone levels, including TSH-cortisol plasma levels, including ACTH - blood and urine osmolarity A brain CT scan or MRI may be necessary to exclude a possible lesion of the pituitary gland or any other intracranial lesion, that may be related to this symptomatology. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!
