Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to electrolyte imbalance or weak muscles.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Feeling weakness in both the knees at your age is not normal. This can happen due to muscle fatigue or due to electrolyte imbalance like magnesium deficiency or low levels of calcium or vitamin D3. You need to improve your diet and fluid intake and start with suitable supplements after getting the levels checked. You also need to start exercises to strengthen muscles around the knee to avoid this feeling of weakness.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
