I'm not sure what to do. If I had any confidence in the doctors where I live, I would like them to check me for brain tumors, weak blood vessels, etc. I'm so pessimistic about the medical system. As an example, the last time I went to the doctor because I was having headaches and nausea after exercising. The doctor told me I needed to take antidepressants. I also mentioned being tired and wondered if I have low testosterone. The doctor said I have facial hair, so that means I have plenty of testosterone. (My sister is an MD, and I told her about that remark. She was amused.) BTW another doctor told me my headaches and nausea might be due to drinking water instead of gatorade. That fixed my problem mostly.

So I know that if I go to the doctor, they will waste my time with some tests. Then at the end, they will tell me there is nothing wrong with me except depression, but I won't believe them. I suppose I should try anyway.
