What Causes Muscle Weakness And Burning Sensation In The Arms?

I have severe muscle weakness. When I lift things my arm muscles burn. It is uncomfortable to chew. I get weak and feel like I am going to faint . I can t finish a task without having to stop and sit down. I get mild headaches. I was diagnosed with mild anemia, hematocrit was 9.9 a month age. But now I feel much worse in the last week. Any idea what could be wrong?

hello
you have already answered the question you are asking. ANEMIA !!
All the symptoms you are presenting with is because low haemoglobin levels and it will keep on going worse if dont take proper treatment. I request you to kindly do the following things:-
1. keep a regular check on your hb levels
2. intake iron rich food items
3. take ferrous ascorbate+folic acid tablets once daily untill you reach your normal range of hb
4. take a multivitamin tablet daily for at least a month
5. calcium and vit d3 supplements once weekly
6. healthy diet and probiotics
7. maintain hydration of your body (drink water)
8. get yourself investigated (iron profile, cbc )
if your condition worsens, immediately rush to ER or consult you local physician.
