Extreme Muscle Weakness, Twitches, Imbalance,memory Trouble,dizziness,itching Pain For Months. All Get Worse With Exercise. What Could It Be?

Symptoms:
Extreme muscle weakness, more so on right side of body
Muscle twitches (thumb, calf, behind knee, thigh, forearm, eyelid)
Drop foot on right side
Bad balance
Poor grip strength - I constantly drop things
Muscles clenched tight for days, not wanting to release
Having memory trouble - I can never find the word I am looking for
Slight dizziness that hardly ever goes away
Blurry vision, sharp pain in eyes
Muscles that are not strong enough to hold my bones in place
Shaky hands / tremors
Sharp shooting pain that lingers in my muscles
Intense 'itching' pain that jolts my whole body and is not relieved with scratching, feels electrical
When I wake up I can't use my hands for about 10 minutes because the muscles are too weak
Pee very hesitant to come out, I am only emptying my bladder 2/3's of the way
Intense 'déjà-vu feeling with intense nausea, seems to happen randomly
Worse with exercise. If I go for a two mile hike one day, the next day it is difficult for me to walk from my bedroom to the bathroom because of extreme muscle exhaustion. And it's not that my muscles are tired and sore from the hike, it is like they stiffen and don't want to move.
The symptoms come and go, but some days it is hard to walk. This has been happening to me for several months intensely, but I have had a lot of these symptoms most of my life. I am a 27 year old female, and it seems to generally be getting worse, although some days I hardly have any symptoms. What would you think based on my symptoms?

Hello,

Exercise related multiple symptoms could be related to electrolyte imbalance upon strenous activity.
There are several of these disorders and after some time, can occur unrelated to exercise.
Things to consider:
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (potassium conc Of course, secondary hypokalemia (due to diuretic use should be considered first)
Thyroid disorders
Calcium imbalance
Vit D deficiency
Potassium aggravated myotonia
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis

Do consult your doctor for the tests.
Best Wishes.
