Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are having weakness since many years so should be evaluated further. Serum calcium, sodium and potassium level should be checked to rule out electrolyte disturbance. Check liver and kidney profiles as well. Check anemia by CBC. If needed EMG like investigation can be done. Consult physician for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
