Brief Answer:
Viral asthenia

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
You are having post viral asthenia or weakness.
Please tell me do you have any sore throat now also? if yes, please send me the pictures of your throat.
Get your blood pressure checked. A low heart rate can be due to viral infection.
Take a good diet.
Follow up with required information so that I can suggest you better.
Take care
Thanks and regards
