What Causes Difficulty To Raise From Kneeling Position Along With Sweaty Palms?
This morning during Mass, my husband, age 82, had difficulty arising from a kneeling position, was weak, pale, overly warm with sweaty palms. I made his sit, and he continued to feel poorly for 10-15 minutes, and then wanted to go outside for fresh air. What could the problem be?

hey there
thanks for the query
I would like to know has he had similar problems in the past and does he have any pain in the legs or any of the joints
this could be simple age related problem or if this is among standing problem it could be a neurological problem.
I advise you to get an X-ray of both knee joints and LS spine X-ray and get back to me with reports
thank you
