Weak Legs!!! PLEASE HELP!

I forgot to say that my heart has been fluttering a whole lot.....like all the time even though my electrolyte test came out fine.

Sounds like you are or were fit,but you don't state you age, sleep patterns,diet,training routine and other information. Of course even if you did we amateur diagnosticians couldn't give a reasonable answer. That being said a lot of things can cause weakness beside electrolytes.
Thryroid imbalance and several other conditions can cause weakness.
It may be time to get more indepth diagnostics if it doesn't clear up soon.
I know of a pro cyclist named Jan that has been suffering from Pfeiffersche Druesenfieber the last few weeks. I haven't researched the translation to exactly what that is but it does cause weakness I hear.

Thank you! Love your state by the way!! Did three state this year in Chattanooga.....beautiful!

Thanks, I like it even better a little further east in the mountains. I just wish the temperature would drop a little.

My first reaction was to say you should just take a week or two off and not think about training or dieting during that time and get good sleep, and I'd bet it would pass.

I still think that, but if your heart is actually "fluttering" then there could be something wrong and you might want to get that checked.

PROBLEM SOLVED. It was not over training but lack of Potassium. It also runs in the family without even exercising! I thank GOD. I'm😄 very Happy! have most of my strength back! I need a lot more potassium than the average athlete and this heat in the south this summer did not help things!

Potassium is defiantly underrated.

I saw good gains too when I started taking a multi-mineral complex.

When you have muscle cramps, your body is probably yearning for potassium, magnesium and calcium - the trio of minerals that helps to regulate activity in your nerves and muscles. These simple and accurate steps will help restore the trio minerals in your body, regaining your muscle's strength and abilities.

Go to your doctor man. If your low on pottasium your doc will give you pottasium pills. you'd have to eat A LOT OF BANANAS to make that up. Your doc will give you the best results.

I agree with that. That is where Im getting them from

Can u test if u are low on potassium ? B/c my blood tests came back normal. Still go and get the pills ?

Or better still purchase a Multi-mineral complex which covers everything. Potassium, magnesium and calcium are the main players though of that complex.

Mine too! Make sure you go see a sport medicine doctor that specializes in endurance type sports because it could be a lot of things. He should be able to help you when a normal doctor may not
