00:00Welcome back sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about top 9 reasons for muscle weakness and how to regain
00:14strength. Struggling to get up, climb stairs, or open jars. Muscle weakness often builds slowly
00:20and isn't the same as feeling tired or sore. 1. Getting older. Losing muscle with age is normal.
00:25This is called sarcopenia. It usually shows up in your 60s or 70s, especially if you're less active.
00:31Your doctor might check your walking speed to test for it. 2. Medications. Some drugs like steroids or
00:37statins can weaken muscles. If you're unsure why you feel weak, ask your doctor or pharmacist to
00:42review your meds. 3. Cold or flu. Illnesses like the flu can leave you weak for weeks. Some viruses
00:48can affect muscles, but it's rare if you're otherwise healthy. 4. COVID-19. COVID can cause fatigue and
00:54muscle weakness. Long bed rest also leads to strength loss. Light exercise or physical therapy
01:00can help you recover. 5. Muscle injury. Heavy lifting or repetitive tasks can strain or tear
01:05muscles. Try RICE, rest, ice, compression, elevation. See a doctor if it gets worse. Stretching helps
01:12prevent future injuries. 6. Multiple sclerosis. MS disrupts signals between your brain and muscles.
01:18It can cause weakness or numbness in your arms or legs. Talk to your doctor if you notice these signs.
01:247. Stroke. Sudden weakness, especially on one side, could be a stroke. Watch for dizziness,
01:30speech trouble, vision issues, or confusion. Call 911 immediately. 8. Other conditions. Many issues can
01:37cause weakness, like thyroid problems, sleep disorders, diabetes, or heart failure. If your
01:43strength drops without a clear reason, get checked. 9. Pregnancy. Fatigue is common in pregnancy,
01:48but muscle weakness usually isn't, unless you have a condition like myasthenia gravis. Talk to your
01:53doctor if you feel unusually weak. If basic tasks are harder than before, see your doctor. They can
01:59test your strength and find out what's causing it, whether it's weakness or something else.
02:03Exercise helps rebuild strength, no matter the cause. Ask your doctor or a physical therapist
02:08for a safe routine, especially as you age.
02:18Come again to our next meeting sunbro.
