Why do I feel tired to do any work? Why do I sleep for more time?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am suffering from the heavy headedness and weakness. I sleep for more time. When I wake up in the morning, I feel heaviness, especially in the back and side region. Because of this, I feel tried to do any work. I do not feel active the whole day. I also feel pain in the legs, below the knee level for the past three months. Some doctors suggested that it was because of indigestion. I have the habit of smoking. What could be my problem?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The symptoms described by you can be because of some conditions like hypothyroidism (decreased thyroid level in the body), vitamin D deficiency, etc. It is better to get evaluated for the same.

I suggest you get the following investigations done to rule out these conditions:

Meanwhile, I suggest you take tablet Shelcal (Calcium) 500 mg, twice a day for 10 days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take medicine with their consent.
