Muscle Weakness
One of the most common causes of muscle weakness, especially after exercise and exertion, is overhydration. This occurs when the water within your body’s cells becomes diluted to the point where it causes muscles to weaken. In addition, when your body is overhydrated, fluid tends to seep out of the blood vessels into your tissues, which makes it harder for blood to flow through your system.
This can be problematic for your circulatory system because blood carries oxygen. Oxygen and glucose are what our muscles need to perform their duties, so if they don’t have enough oxygen or glucose, they will not be able to contract effectively. If they cannot contract effectively, you may experience muscle weakness. You may also experience muscle cramps similar to muscle weakness but typically more intense and painful because there is not enough blood flowing through your system.
