What Causes Sudden Weakness On Legs After Waking Up?
On awakening this morning and lying on my left side in bed (upper body slightly raised) I checked my emails on my phone and then lay down again for some more sleep. I felt strange so got out of bed but found I couldn t stand or walk without holding on to the walls etc - sudden weakness in both legs and uncoordination. No pain anywhere. One hour later legs are working but I am being very cautious.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, because of the poor posture some compression taking place in spinal region and this could cause such symptoms, if it got alright and then never happen again then this is nothing to worry, else MRI of dorsal spine need to be get done, hope this is information helps, take care and have a nice day.
