Muscle Weakness
Muscle weakness can be a sign of vitamin deficiency. A vitamin is an organic compound found in food and used for maintaining and building tissues. Vitamin deficiency symptoms include muscle weakness, loss of appetite, general fatigue, irritability, and slow growth.
In addition to the most common symptoms of vitamin D deficiency—joint pain, muscle aches, and tiredness—muscle weakness can indicate that your body doesn’t have enough vitamin D. Muscle weakness comes in many forms. Still, it is often most easily recognized when someone loses the ability to maintain balance or stand on one leg without falling over. In addition, overexertion can cause muscles to become fatigued so quickly that even small movements can be difficult or impossible.
To combat this problem and ensure you’re getting enough vitamin D, avoid overexerting yourself until you see a doctor for a check-up. If your doctor determines that you’re deficient, getting an extra boost of vitamin D should help alleviate some of these symptoms and get your body back on track with an easy-to-follow regimen of supplementation.
