Suggest Treatment For Fatigue,chills And Heaviness In Legs

Ok, that is great, thank you so much!! I got some sort of bug at the end of August which included dizziness and nausea. After a week or so, the stomach problems subsided, but I have this incredible fatigue that does not go away. I sometimes have slight chills but no real fever. Every time I am infected or exposed to a bug, I always end up with this fatigue. Heavy legs and knees. Swollen lips. Incredible fatigue.

Hello there,
Post an illness when the body is in a rebuilding/convalescent phase some fatigue is normal. Now How to overcome it? Eating a diet rich in protein, Taking plenty of fresh fruits and also a multivitamin. Also some source of simple sugars like juices or tang or bananas also helps. Avoid caffeine based drinks like colas or coffee.

In your case since you have swollen legs do get your Hb levels tested and also an ECG. I want to rule out any anemia as a cause of fatigue.

Thank you for your query,
Dr Arun A
