What Causes Persistent Fatigue In An Elderly Person?
My mother is 76 she is complaining of feeling weak, she feels like she should be able to get up and go but cant. Blood pressure was 134/74 pulse 77 at rest. Seemed very sleepy almost unable to hold eyes open. No nausea, sweating fever or coldness. Has eaten protein today in a BLT and has eaten peanuts and had Diet coke. Felt weak this am but has been to the beauty shop and walked outside some today.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it is the symptoms of general debility and it may be due to age, good nursing care healthy diet good moral support would be fine for her else it is nothing to worry, it is advisable to get done the routine medical check up if it is not being done yet hope this information helps.
