What Is The Cause Of Weakness?

I am so exhausted and feel weak - trouble climbing stairs. I just want to sleep but am restless. I have been diagnosed with chronic sinusitis, high blood pressure and osteo arthritis. I am 68 years old and weigh about 140#, 5'6". It could just be stress from the holidays. I just took a zyrtec.

I think you should get your vitamin D levels checked , plus try taking a calcium supplement . CPK levels should be done to rule out muscle weakness.
