Doctors’ responses

Persistent light-headedness and severe weakness over a long period, especially in someone aged 48, can be linked to several underlying causes — such as anemia, low blood pressure, blood sugar imbalances, inner ear disorders (vestibular issues), or even neurological or cardiac conditions. Since you’ve been feeling this way for 3 years, it's essential to get a comprehensive evaluation including blood work (CBC, sugar levels, thyroid, electrolytes), ECG, and possibly imaging like a brain MRI or ENT evaluation if needed. Regarding the inguinal hernia surgery — if the area became swollen again after stitch removal, it could be due to fluid collection (seroma), minor infection, or tissue reaction. It’s important to get it rechecked by the surgeon to rule out complications. For long-term relief, focus on: Eating a balanced, iron-rich diet Staying hydrated Managing stress and sleep Following up regularly with a physician for any lab abnormalities If you'd like, I can help list the exact tests to ask your doctor for or even suggest lifestyle tips to manage dizziness better.
