Brief Answer:
Weakness and fatigue must have a reason

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Fatigue must have a reason. Please get a thyroid profile done too. Hyperthyroidism can cause similar symptoms. Also get checked the parathyroid hormone levels. Another cause can be infection of colon and inflammatory bowel disease. A colonoscopy can be done to confirm it. Keep exercising daily for atleast 20 min a day. Take nutritious, hygienic food and cleanest drinking water to avoid infections of gut. Take nutritional supplements like ensure along with regular food to gain back the weight.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Take care"
