What Causes Muscle Cramps Along With Sore Throat And Excessive Sleepiness?

I am curious if I may have a thyroid problem. I had a blood test that came back normal. Is there a more intense test that can be done? I have muscle stiffness and cramping, sore throat, sometimes I sleep a lot and seldom but occasionally I don t sleep all night. I have been to a throat doctor and he removed a cyst on a vocal chord, but I have not noticed any difference. My voice has changed, too. I have had grave difficulty losing weight, as I quit smoking and gained way too much weight. Thank you.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of muscle cramps along with sore throat and excessive sleepiness . The symptoms you mention in query are probably due to viral infection ,which usually go in few days by its own . You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Levocetirizine. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and get it examined. Doctor may prescribe antiviral along with anti inflammatory. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids and take healthy diet to boost the immunity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
