Why do I feel weak while sitting and working?

Question

Hi doctor,

For past few days, I feel very weak while sitting and working. I do not feel energetic, and most of the time I feel sleepy and lazy. I have a little pain in my body, so I am not able to concentrate properly on anything.

My blood pressure is 119/72 mmHg, and my pulse is 72. I even have pain in my legs and back, and I do not have much energy in my body.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are various causes like thyroid problems, anemia, vitamin deficiency especially vitamin D and even psychological issues which are the most common. You should get hemoglobin levels, thyroid function test, and vitamin D levels checked.

I suggest you try doing the following :

Try taking multivitamin supplements like syrup Zincovit or A to Z, two teaspoons once a day for 3 to 4 weeks.
Replace tea with coffee, and have two to three times a day, especially before some important work, which will provide adequate interest and stimulation.
Regular exercises or sports will be helpful.
Gradually taper off addictions, If any.
You will probably need vitamin D supplements after the test.
Try doing yoga in the morning.

Do you have any psychological issues like stress or depressive? If yes, then you need to consult a psychiatrist.

Yes, it can be due to thyroid as well. You get the tests done. Focus on regular exercises. I guess there is no upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, burping, reflux problem? These are suggestive of gastritis andacidity.

All the best.
