Weakness and fatigue after gua sha are generally caused by not eating prior to the procedure. Low blood sugar may occur during gua sha, leading to symptoms such as general weakness and dizziness. When this happens, it is essential to increase nutritional intake. Some individuals may also be inherently unsuitable for gua sha, resulting in lowered resistance during the treatment. Such patients may experience dizziness and generalized weakness after undergoing gua sha.
