Why do I feel sore and weak all over my body?

Body aches and weakness are symptoms that many people have experienced in their lives, which makes people feel extremely painful. So what exactly causes the symptoms of body aches and weakness? In fact, this is related to many factors, and one of them is that manual laborers have a light diet.

1. Physical laborers who eat too light a diet are prone to fatigue because the sodium in salt can enhance the excitability of nerves and muscles.

2 Lack of sleep can make people feel weak, but people with neurasthenia will also feel weak if they take sleeping pills for a long time. Other drugs that cause fatigue include antihistamines such as diphenhydramine.

3. People who are addicted to alcohol often feel tired; hungry people also feel weak due to lack of protein and potassium; fatigue and weakness are sometimes the prodromal symptoms of vitamin B1 deficiency, and alcoholics are prone to this disease.

4 Fatigue among physical or mental workers is a normal physiological phenomenon, but it is important to pay attention if you feel tired after a little work.

5. Frequent vomiting and diarrhea and large amounts of diuretics cause general weakness due to low blood potassium; however, patients with high blood potassium also feel weak, so blood tests are needed for identification.

6 Diabetes is the disease that most often causes fatigue. Due to abnormal glucose metabolism, reduction of high-energy phosphate bonds, negative nitrogen balance, water loss and electrolyte imbalance, patients are prone to fatigue, weakness, thirst, weight loss, polyphagia and polyuria.

7 Anemia also often causes fatigue. Severe cases include chronic anemia, sudden onset iron deficiency anemia, acute hemorrhagic anemia, acute hemolytic anemia, etc. These patients all experience fatigue.

8. Patients with chronic nephritis often feel tired and weak, and because they need to eat a low-salt or salt-free diet for a long time, they are prone to potassium deficiency, so fatigue, insomnia, and backache are often their main complaints when they seek medical treatment.

9 Almost all people who have colds and various infectious diseases experience fatigue. Heart failure patients eat less and take less magnesium, so the ATP that provides energy cannot be activated, so they experience fatigue.

10 Many endocrine diseases are accompanied by fatigue. Fatigue is the initial symptom of patients with hypothyroidism and is also a common symptom of patients with hyperthyroidism.

11 Sheehan's syndrome caused by shock due to postpartum hemorrhage is mainly manifested by fatigue, amenorrhea, and weight loss, which is caused by hypofunction of the anterior pituitary gland; patients with acromegaly caused by hyperfunction of the anterior pituitary gland also often feel fatigue and weakness in the limbs.

12 The most obvious fatigue and weakness are seen in patients with myasthenia gravis. Due to the disorder of neuromuscular conduction, the striated muscles are very easy to fatigue. After a little activity, they will quickly become weak. Continuous and rapid movements are more likely to cause fatigue. The fatigue is often lighter in the morning and heavier in the evening. The fatigue can be alleviated after supplementing potassium chloride.

13. Leukemia patients also often feel weak because of anemia. In addition to leukemia, many malignant tumors often show symptoms of fatigue in the early stage, but are accompanied by other common symptoms of the tumor, such as lung cancer often has symptoms such as cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, etc.

If you often feel weak and powerless for no reason (such as overwork, lack of sleep, hot weather, hunger, etc.), on the one hand, you should see a doctor in time and tell the doctor about the feeling of weakness and other discomforts without omission. On the other hand, don't be too nervous, because morbid fatigue is inevitably accompanied by other discomforts. It is important to cooperate well with the doctor and do various necessary blood tests and other examinations to find out the condition early and treat it in time.
