Hi, Go for her serum electrolytes, BUN and serum creatinine. Weakness can be due to electrolyte disturbances. Prednisone on long-term can cause hypokalemia. Losartan and Spironolactone can contribute to hyperkaelmia. Metoprolol can also cause fatigue and lethargy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
