Why do I feel weak with low BP and inability to stand properly?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 27-year-old man. Sometimes, I feel very weak. My BP goes down, and I am unable to stand properly. Also, my foot hurts. Please tell me the treatment to cover this type of problem.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have two main concerns.
The weakness is not due to low blood pressure. The low blood pressure can lead to dizziness and an inability to stand as described by you. For that, try to maintain hydration with lots of water, and whenever you feel dizziness, take salted food and fruit juices. You can check your blood sugar level as well. For tiredness, I suggest you investigate with serum potassium, serum sodium estimation, serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) estimation, CBC (complete blood count), liver profile, and kidney profile. You can revert back with reports.
For pain in the foot, avoid prolonged standing or walking. It is advisable to investigate with an X-ray of the foot for further workup. You should get your serum calcium and vitamin D levels checked as well.
I hope this helps.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
