Feeling weak all over when the weather gets hot may be due to physiological factors, or it could result from medical conditions such as hypoglycemia or anemia. Targeted treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. The details are as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
During hot weather, excessive sweating or mental stress may lead to generalized weakness. Usually, no other discomfort is present, and there is no need for excessive concern.
II. Disease-Related Factors
1. Hypoglycemia
This is usually related to factors such as excessive dieting or malnutrition, leading to excessive physical depletion and causing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, and nausea. In such cases, consuming food or sugary snacks appropriately can gradually relieve symptoms.
2. Anemia
In patients with anemia, heavy sweating in hot weather increases physical exertion, worsening symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, low energy, and pale skin. It is generally recommended to take medications such as Shengxue Ning tablets or ferrous succinate tablets under a doctor's guidance to improve symptoms.
Besides the common causes mentioned above, other possible factors include neurasthenia, hypothyroidism, diabetes, etc. Patients should seek timely medical attention to prevent worsening of the condition and adverse effects on health.
