Have you ever been sick, but uncapable of explaining what's wrong?

I currently am. Mom wants me to call the doc, but I've no idea how to describe my symptoms without sounding like I'm making it up.

Here's me trying my best:
I've been nauseous on and off the last few days

Also had stomach pains in different areas of my stomach on and off

I'm hot and cold at the same time, and sweating, but sometimes I'm at a good temperature. I still occasionally sweat even when I'm at a normal temperature tho

Every few hours I have a little bit of chest pains, but the exact location also changes.

Yesterday I had 2 episodes of wheezing when breathing normally

Moving about makes me slightly dizzy

There are occational joint pains, usually in my wrists.

My throat feels dry and warm sometimes, as if I'm breathing extremely hot air

My head feels like I'm wearing a beanie that's 2 sizes too small when I'm sitting still

I'm low on energy, but at the same time not (I can't explain it any better than that)

It's hard to focus my eyes, but I see normal

The 2 lumps I've had in my throat since december feel warm and and get painful now and then. Not related to the hot air and dryness tho

I get winded anytime I get off of the couch

My heart have bouts of beating harder,but at the normal pace

I was coughing yesterday, but not before or after


You get the gist...
How the heck should I explain this to the doc in one or two sentences? None of the docs here have the patience for more than that before interrupting to tell you "give it a couple of days. If you get worse, call again"

i would tell the doctor youre nauseous,wheezing and having mild chest and stomach pains that come and go. also the lumps in your throat.

@Penny but when they listen to my chest to check for wheezing they won't find anything since it's already stopped 🤷

Write down what you have just said above and show the Doc.
It took me only a minute to read and you summed up all the symptoms in that time and it would make it easier for him.

@Nimbus Will do. Thanks.

My sister will come by after driving her youngest to school tomorrow morning to make sure I get up and call the doc. And she'll drive me there aswell (assuming they wanna see me)

@TheRealBarbossa I hope all goes well 👍

Yeah, about half of that I have often too. Usually it passes within anywhere between seconds to days. It's annoying, but hard to describe and not really leading to any diagnosis.
