What Causes Extreme Fatigue, Dizziness And Leg Twitching?

Posted on Mon, 28 Dec 2015

Question: Hello
I am a 36 yr old male with extreme fatigue, pressure on left side of head causing dizziness/heavy feeling. Legs are also very heavy and twitch all throughout the day. Can no longer run more than 1/2 mile due to cramping and just ran half marathon couple years ago. I am pretty athletic and weigh 185 lbs. There is no way that I should feel this way. Please help as all nomal blood work is good. Heart rate is around 56 which I am not sure if that is normal
