Having Weak Feeling In Legs, Feels Heavy. Am Active Tennis Player. Should I Do Something?

I am a 38 year old female. I weigh 107 lbs. I am 5 2. I am pretty active and play tennis on weekends. I play an average of 2 hours whenever I get on the court. Lately, I have been feeling my legs weak and heavy when running to balls. Should I be doing something: nutrition or physically to better perform on the court? Thank you.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! It is good to know that you are a regular active player. The symptoms of yours are non specific and can occur due to very many reasons.
At the outset I would suggest to have a routine blood test, urine test and a blood sugar test for you. Get your blood pressure monitored. If all these are normal,try to keep yourself well hydrated before you go to the court.
In case the symptoms persist, I would suggest you to see your family physician to decide if you have to go for more investigations.
Take care. Thanks.
