Fainted After Standing For One Hour, Weakness In Calves Of Legs, Unable To Stand For Long Hours. Causes And Treatment?

Hello, Sometime in February of this year I was in church standing for about an hour and fainted. I went to doctor and they didnt know why I fainted. One thing disturbs me though since after that fainting experience I experience weakness in the calves area of my legs and its uncomfortable I unable to stand for long periods. Can you tell me why? I am very much in need of a response but I am unable to pay right now because I do not have a credit card. Is it possible for you to kindly allow me to talk to you please even I am unable to pay right now?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your problem description. You have nothing to worry. The fainting episode in church you experienced is very common. It happens with so many people whenever they stand continuously for some time.

The reason could be empty stomach and loose abdominal muscles. Your case could be first one, because you were in church. Exercising your abdominal muscles should ease the weakness of that area.

Don't worry about that fainting episode, because that is not a case to worry at all. Weakness feeling could be associated with anxiety after the episode.

Hope this clears your doubt. Available for further clarification.
Good luck.
