Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The combination of symptoms you have been experiencing for the past three to four years, poor muscle gain, loose muscles, chronic tiredness, weakness, low appetite, weight loss, hair fall, anxiety, and a general lack of motivation, suggests that your body may be dealing with an underlying medical condition that has not been identified yet. These symptoms can occur with nutritional deficiencies (like low vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, or protein), hormonal imbalances (such as low testosterone or thyroid problems), chronic stress or anxiety disorders, or even long-standing infections or metabolic issues.

The “spacing” feeling in your joints and bones may indicate vitamin D deficiency or low calcium, both of which are common and can cause bone and muscle weakness over time. None of this can be diagnosed based on symptoms alone, so it is important to get a proper evaluation. The next steps should include a complete physical exam and basic blood tests such as complete blood count, thyroid profile, vitamin D, vitamin B12, testosterone levels, liver and kidney function, fasting glucose, and iron studies. Improving nutrition, sleep, hydration, and addressing anxiety are all important, but treatment should be based on what the tests reveal. You do not have to live feeling weak and exhausted; these symptoms are treatable once the root cause is identified, and getting evaluated now will help you start improving your health and daily functioning.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer.
