Hi,

I understand your concern. The problems what you are facing seems to be due to a mineral deficiency.

Kindly take calcium and magnesium supplementation. Drink oral rehydration solution regularly. Keep yourself well hydrated by consuming good quantity of water.

Gradually, you should be able to overcome the symptoms and be back to normal.

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

Regards,
