What Causes Extreme Fatigue?
When I feel a strong emotion ie. something that s would normally make someone laugh heavily. My body goes weak, I feel weak at the knees, my eyes close and my body drops slightly. Have always been to embarrassed to tell anyone and have hoped no one notices. I heard on the radio someone explaining these very symptoms and it actually has a name. Please help me figure out what it was

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of extreme fatigue this seems to be viral fever or flu. It happens due to poor immunity of body. I would suggest you to take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache. Drink plenty of fluids, take multivitamin and have proper rest. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Avoid cold carbonated liquids. You should not take fried, hot and spicy food. Take analgesic and take light diet. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests as well , eat fresh fruits and vegetables .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
