Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt/Workup: I would recommend a visit with your PCP. There are conditions which can cause these symptoms. The viral illness may or may not be related. To test your strength, try standing up from a seated position without using your arms.
