Brief Answer:
Have you tried any supplements?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

There can be three reasons for the weakness:
- anemia
- lung issues due to smoking
- low sleep duration

Please upload the blood reports including complete blood count, serum iron and vitamin B12 levels, liver function test, kidney function test, thyroid profile, serum electrolytes. Also please upload your chest X-Ray PA view report.
Normal sleep is around 8 hrs per day. Please tell reason of lesser sleep.

Waiting for your reply.
Regards
Dr Vaishalee
