Why do I feel weak while sitting and working?
Patient's Query
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.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for replying. No, there are no psychological issues like stress and depression, and I feel that I do not eat much. I eat very less and avoid eating fast food; still, I do not loose weight. I feel fat and lack energy most of the time. Can this be because of thyroid problem?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
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.
