I don't know if you can help me with this problem. Since I was a teenager this has happened. If I get into a hot tub my body becomes so weak I cannot move for many hours. I lay on the bed and I am to weak to move. I never understand why this happens. What do you think I should do?
Brief Answer:
Get done thyroid function test, serum IgE and EMG.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your concern. However I cannot conclude what is the cause of the weakness. I would however suggest you visit a neurologist. If necessary you might need EMG (electro myo graphy) and NCV (nerve conduction velocity) study to rule out neuromuscular disorder. Besides, I will also suggest thyroid function test and serum IgE level.
Thyroid diseases can cause similar symptoms.
And IgE is to rule out allergic cause.
Hope I have solved your query.
