Specializes in General Practice

Being Sick & Healing: Most likely yes, this is a post illness process. You seem aware that it very well may be that your activity level and thus muscle strength may have been compromised by the illness. As you resume your normal appetite and activity then this will resolve.

A member asked:

I easily get tired when I walk now, but I used to walk a lot & have lots of energy before. I live a sedentary lifestyle due to COVID now. So do I get exhausted by simply walking due to my sedentady lifestyle or fatigue caused by a health issue?
