What Causes Weakness With Heaviness In Arms And Legs?

I m so weak I can only walk about 20 feet. My arms and legs are heavy. It too taxing to hold a book or newspaper for a few moments so I can read. The life is literally draining out of me. I don t have a sore throat or swollen glands. This must be heart or pulmonary related.??

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have severe weakness. It can be due to viral infection, hypotension, severe anemia or some other cause.

You should check complete blood count, blood sugar level and your blood pressure. Then if everything is normal then you need further testing.

Hope I have answered your question. if you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
