I have had fatigue, constant neck pain and headaches, blurred vision, and overall have just felt so horrible almost every day that I can barely get through the day. I have had fleeting chest pains the past couple of days. The other symptoms have been going on for several months. I did an internet search and the only thing that seemed to match is high blood pressure. I haven’t had it checked lately because I don’t have insurance and have not been to the doctor. I also have type 1 diabetes. (I am 26)
Most of the time high blood pressure doesn’t have any symptoms. In Australia, many pharmacies have blood pressure machines you can use for free, but I don’t know about other countries. Most of the time, high blood pressure on its own isn’t a problem most people in their 20′s have, though diabetics are at more of a risk.
I definitely wouldn’t rule out high blood pressure, but those symptoms are general enough to be from other things. They might not even be connected.
Have you had your eyes checked recently? Blurred vision and headaches (which could also spread to the neck) can be caused from eye problems, or simply staring at a computer too long.
Maybe a virus, even? That could cause long lasting fatigue…
And there is a posibility of chest pains being caused by heartburn.
I really think it is best to see a doctor though, because …
a) I doubt it is going to fix itself any time soon if its been going on for a couple of months
b) chest pains should always be checked out, in case you have heart probs
c) we can’t diagnose anything over a computer, let alone prescribe any meds
d) it seems to be getting worse. (you are getting more symptoms)

well i have a feeling that it isn’t high blood preasure not that your bp wouldn’t be high at this time though. you know you can always go to your local drug store and most have an automatic blood preasure cuff near the pharmacy so you can check it for free that way.
i think you may have hyperthyroidism.
check out these symptoms.
if you think this could be it you really need to have it checked with blood work.

I’m not sure if that is a particularly good source (sorry).
