What Causes Severe Muscle Weakness And Joint Pain With High Blood Pressure?

I have been experiencing muscle weakness and joint pain, and have pain in my lower back. Recently, I have been experiencing spikes in my blood pressure which is poorly controlled with drugs. I don t know if these are linked, but the muscle weakness seems to be getting worse. What should I be concerned about?

Hi,

Muscle weakness, is it generalized or only in the legs following back pain?

It needs a check up. If generalized kindly get your blood sugar tested and also electrolytes and visit a physician near by.
