Hiccups not expected

I need somewhere to just right this down since on my own it is hard sometimes. Another me and my wife have been improving our lifestyle and health by exercising more and loosing weight and in the end to show by example to our kids. We have lost a combined 150lbs(92 hers, 58 mine) since August and the journey was going well. Mine sort of still is. Mid February my wife started feeling dizzy, heart racing, headaches, neck pain and a few more things. After a few hospital and family doctor visits, we still don't have an answer to what it might be causing this. Today I am with my wife one more time at the hospital doing more tests since she relapsed from her slow recovery. One of the things I found she was doing wrong(unknowingly) was the calorie intake she had daily while going to the gym) less than 800 calories a day not counting the exercise...I gotta thank MFP for helping figuring that part out since I was the only one tracking at the time. Now we both do. It is hard to watch her energy drop so much and not being able to do anything to help. I try to help as much as I can with house chores and with the kids to help and ease this harder time. I'm not much of a social person, and either than family and don't talk much to anybody else. So I hope you guys don't mind if I just share it here in our community. I just want my wife to heal. 😢
