What Causes Persistent Weakness In Leg And Fatigue While On Zantac For Acid Reflux?

I feel a weakness or laziness in my legs if I am not active immediately upon rising in the morning. Cardio exercise in the morning before work helps. Regular exercise pretty much eliminates the condition. But on days were I cannot exercise in the morning I feel very weak. Even when sitting or lying down I feel this weak sensation in my legs. I feel a loss of power or drive. Blood sugar and pressure normal. I m 72 230 lbs so over weight. I exercise regularly and have my whole life. For the last 4 years I have also developed a issue were i have excess saliva when talking resulting in spitting while speaking. This is also something recent. I have acid reflux and must take Zantac to sleep at night. Any help greatly appreciated. My dentist and doctor tell me not to be concerned excess saliva is ok but for me it s very embarrassing as I am needed to communicate all day. Thanks

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are u running fever?
Zantac has got no association with the leg weakness. you need to be investigated first for probable diagnosis. if i am ur attending doctor i will get ur FBC ,ESR, CRP, Chest Xray , Fasting LIPID PROFILE as well as DOPPLER ULTRASOUND of leg .In the light of these investigations i will be able to offer u any treatment.
Do engage yourself in active physical exercise along with the daily nutritional balanced diet.
Add milk and egg in ur diet along with vitamins.
Meet your doctor for proper examination and investigations
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
