I have been taking medication for anxiety for the past 5 years, mostly on an SOS basis. After recovering from COVID last year, I began experiencing occasional weakness and dizziness, but these symptoms would come and go. However, in the last 10 days, the symptoms have returned more consistently. I have attached my medical report.

Hello Doctor, for the past three days, I have been experiencing nausea (especially when standing), numbness throughout my body, a constant cold feeling in my feet, excessive sleepiness (I sleep around 18 hours a day), a dry throat, and loss of appetite due to food tasting different. On the first day of these symptoms, I visited a doctor who gave me an injection and advised me to get a blood test, which I have attached here. He also mentioned that my blood pressure has been consistently low, around 70, for two consecutive days. I am feeling very uneasy and worried.
