Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Feng
Generalized weakness can be caused by various factors, mainly including:
1. Overexertion: Whether physical or mental work, excessive energy consumption can lead to generalized weakness. In such cases, the body requires adequate rest to recover strength.
2. Insufficient or poor-quality sleep: Long-term late nights or poor sleep quality can affect the body's recovery and repair processes, leading to generalized fatigue.
3. Malnutrition or nutritional imbalance: Eating a very bland diet may cause electrolyte imbalance, and deficiencies in certain essential nutrients (such as iron, calcium, vitamin B, etc.) can also result in generalized weakness.
4. Disease-related factors: Many diseases can cause generalized weakness, including anemia, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, liver disease, kidney disease, and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases.
