What Causes Lightheadedness, Fatigue And Weak Legs?
Question: I have been light headed for two weeks fatigue and leg weakness. I feel fine if I lay down. I have had many tests all normal.
Brief Answer:
Two possibilities.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic. I am Dr. Ganesh.
There are two possibilities i can think of, First is cardiac insufficiency - where there is in complete / less blood supply causing difficulty.
For which i would recommend cardiac echo to check the values of blood supply. That will help.
The next one is Dietary insufficiency - as yo have mentioned about bloating after eating disorder, which is seen in cases with irritable bowel syndrome where one will not get enough nutritions needed for the body causes above symptoms. And to check the states of the intestine a CT with contrast ( abdomen pelvis ) will help to pick any abnormal condition which can be treated.
Finally any underlying medical conditions like diabetes , hypertension , other which may lead to this condition - which needs to be corrected.
Please keep an eye on food what you are having - take healthy food with good amount of salads, fruits, less of spices & junk, fat, more of water.
You can keep an eye on the above aspects. That will help. Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query.
Any thing to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
