Weakness is a general rundown condition felt by the body. There may be a variety of reasons causing this. A very hot and
humid day causes weakness due to loss of electrolytes from our body by way of sweating. Many types of fevers cause weakness.
Many medications too cause weakness. Anemia, pains, myalgia, fevers, too much work and stress, all are contributing factors
for weakness in our body.
Weakness is a lack of physical or muscle strength and the feeling that extra effort is needed to perform daily activities
that require you to move your arms, legs, or other muscles. Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, or lack of energy.
Both weakness and fatigue are symptoms - not diseases. Because these symptoms can be caused by many other health problems,
the importance of weakness and fatigue can only be determined when other symptoms are evaluated.
