Brief Answer:
you need to get investigated thoroughly ..

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear XXXXX, Welcome back ,

Thanks for following up,

Well it can be Vitamin deficiency (B-12 and Vit-D to be specific)..also it can denote Calcium deficiency and some times even low-Hemoglobin(Anemia as you've rightly pointed out) states can cause this..

That being said, you need to be thoroughly invested for the metabolic parameters like Complete Hemogram, electrolytes, Kidney function test , Vit-B12 and Folic Acid levels..

You also need to be examined by a Physician clinically to rule out any other causes(as these are really non-specific symptoms and there can be several causes for this)..After physical investigations and all those lab investigations there will a clear picture of the exact diagnosis and management will be accordingly..

Try to eat a healthy nutritious diet - high protein and iron rich, including lot of green leafy vegetables and stay well hydrated by drinking a lot of water (3-4 ltr per day)..

Let me know if there's any further doubt..

Take Care
Kind Regards
