Feeling unwell

Has anyone else experienced similar to me. I’ve been EBF for LB’s whole life. Was one on 17/05 and since February I have been really struggling with on and off headaches, my periods returned so thought it could be hormonal but then they stopped. A few weeks later I then got a bad cold and vertigo and was told I had vestibular neuritis. Was signed off work as the vertigo got so bad I couldn’t leave the house often for 3 weeks, had friends and family come to me instead. Since then I’ve been so up and down with lightheadedness, confusion and grogginess. Sometimes it’s hard to even concentrate and focus or read text messages. I’ve had to make my text on my phone bigger. Went back to doctor last week with another week long headache and they’ve put me on migraine medication. Which helped headache but last few days experiencing all the symptoms of low blood pressure again. Going to call the doctor in the morning but is anyone else experiencing similar? I’ve also been weaning LB off breastmilk so the last few days he’s only been having 2/3 feeds in 24 hours which is huge for him considering he was still on 6/7 feeds around a month ago. How did people feel when breastfeeding stopped entirely because I’ve got people telling me to stop feeding and I’ll get better but I also don’t feel that’s the problem as I’ve not experienced this the whole time. LB’s sleep is also very up and down and always has been. We’ve only had a handful of nights he’s slept through but recently he’s been doing much better and only having one wake a night around 2/3am.

I know I need medical advice but just wanted to see if anyone was similar. I’ve also been losing weight since February too, even though I’m eating and drinking the same.
