Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your weakness.

As your history present the situation seems to me the transient syncope but because you had the repeated episode and difficulty in walking. It seems to electrolyte imbalance mostly the potassium deficiency.

You need to take much fruits like banana or other rich potassium foods.
You must visit an emergency room or consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Hope my answer will help you and you can consult us for any further opinion we will be happy to help.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
