It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. . Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. If it does not help it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
