The weakness episodes have been going on for at least two years and are getting more severe. Blood tests have been normal. Have been tested for lyme disease and thyroid with negative results. Had a recent episode of atrial fibrillation which was brought to normal with electroversion. No recurrence has happened. Otherwise, I am not taking any medications other than herbal products. I have been physically active in the past, playing tennis frequently, however, this has been very difficult recently. I hope you can shed some light into what is happening; the local doctors have not been able to diagnose the problem.

Brief Answer:
More evaluation certainly needed!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the additional information and nothing seems to provide a direct headway. This must be difficult for you. Another possibility could be depression or low mood. Am not exactly sure if your habits and preferences or feelings have changed that much. Also, are there specific life events that might have impacted your mindset and stat elf happiness? We will need to look in this light as preliminary tests show no abnormality.

I hope to hear from you...
