Causes of General Weakness
Several factors can contribute to general weakness. It may arise from viral or bacterial infections, such as a severe cold or pneumonia. Prolonged hospital stays or extended periods of inactivity can also lead to general weakness. Additionally, exacerbation of chronic illnesses resulting in prolonged bed rest can cause muscle weakness throughout the body. It is important to note that general weakness often increases the risk of falls due to inadequate strength to maintain balance and stability.
