What does it mean if your muscles suddenly feel very weak, and you can't lift or hold anything up because of it? i am under 20 and a female.

Several items : Might consider potassium related periodic paralysis or thyroid, but also myasthenia. Yet some folks could experience emotional issues impacting function. Narcolepsy with cataplexy might appear like this. See you dr and get examined.
