Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have felt weak for the last 5 days like my head is going to fall off my shoulders, to wash my hair my arms feel so tired, my legs feel like i have gone up 4 flights of stairs and all i seem to do is sleep. I have run a small fever of 99.7. Should I make an appointment ?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Based on the symptoms you are experiencing, it appears that you could be having a viral infection. This could be causing myalgia and feeling of fatigue. Since most of such viral infections are self limiting, you can take symptomatic treatment to overcome it. Take Tablet.Paracetamol 650mg when you have fever, maximum of three times a day. Also take nutritious food and supplement with multivitamins. If the symptoms does not improve, kindly consult Physician for clinical evaluation and appropriate management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
