Suggest Treatment For Fatigue, Muscle Weakness And Lack Of Appetite

my husband is experiencing fatigue, muscle weakness, somewhat reduced appetite. He slept for 12 hours last night and after 1 hour of activity was exhausted. Last week the muscle weakness was scary. He had great difficulty getting out bed, seemed like his legs would not cooperate and struggled to lift himself with his arms. Night before last, he had diarrhea.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. It can be due to electrolyte imbalance or problems with liver like hepatitis. So better to check bilirubin levels, liver enzymes and serum electrolytes level. If electrolytes are low it should be supplemented. In case of hepatitis adhere to hepatitis diet regimen. Take proper rest. Taking glucose with lemon juice is good.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
