Dr. Shen Yonghua
General weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, coughing, and chest pain with a burning sensation can be caused by multiple factors, primarily the following:
1. Common cold or viral infection: Especially viral infections including influenza and novel coronavirus infection, which may be one of the most common causes, particularly during seasonal transitions. Viruses or bacteria invading the body can cause general malaise.
2. Respiratory diseases: Conditions such as pleurisy, pneumonia, and bronchitis may cause chest pain and coughing. In severe cases, these conditions may also affect oxygen supply to the brain, causing dizziness.
3. Cardiovascular diseases: Heart problems such as myocarditis, angina, or heart failure may also trigger chest pain and dizziness. Additionally, due to impaired cardiac function, the body may feel weak and fatigued.
4. Digestive system diseases: Conditions such as gastrointestinal dysfunction or disorders may indirectly lead to general weakness and drowsiness.
5. Neurological diseases: Some neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, may also present with similar symptoms.
