How to manage leg weakness and fatigue when hungry

Leg weakness and fatigue when hungry may be caused by factors such as hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, or anemia, and can be managed through dietary adjustments, intravenous injections, or oral medications.

1. Diet

Leg weakness and fatigue when hungry may indicate hypoglycemia, which occurs when the body's glycogen stores are insufficient, leading to abnormal sympathetic nerve excitation and regulatory dysfunction. In such cases, it is advisable to supplement with sugar-containing foods, such as sugary water, candies, bread, or biscuits.

2. Intravenous Injection

If you have hyperthyroidism, hunger may trigger excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, causing bodily overstimulation. Without timely food intake, the aforementioned symptoms may occur. Consult a doctor about intravenous administration of medications such as prednisolone injection or hydrocortisone injection. Also, ensure adequate rest and stay warm.

3. Oral Medications

Unbalanced nutrient intake may lead to insufficient red blood cell production. When hungry, reduced hemoglobin levels can impair oxygen and blood supply, resulting in anemia and the symptoms described above. In such cases, follow your doctor’s advice to take iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate syrup or ferrous gluconate syrup.

In daily life, maintain balanced meals, eat smaller portions more frequently, and avoid dieting or picky eating. If leg weakness and fatigue occur frequently, seek medical attention promptly.
