Fatigue and tiredness
Laziness and lethargy
Body pain
Shortness of breath during physical activities
Rapid heartbeat, especially while climbing stairs with weight in hands.

Your symptoms of fatigue, laziness, body pain, shortness of breath during physical activities, and rapid heartbeat may indicate several potential health issues. Eating raw rice can lead to nutritional deficiencies, particularly in vitamins and minerals. This diet might lack essential nutrients, which could contribute to feelings of exhaustion and lethargy.
I recommend considering the following diagnostic tests to identify any underlying issues:
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC) - to check for anemia or infection.
2. Thyroid Function Tests - to evaluate thyroid hormone levels, as thyroid dysfunction can cause fatigue and other symptoms.
3. Electrocardiogram (ECG) - to assess your heart's rhythm and detect any abnormalities.
4. Basic Metabolic Panel - to check your kidney function, electrolytes, and blood sugar levels.
5. Nutritional Assessment - to evaluate any deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, particularly iron and B vitamins.
These tests can provide valuable information about your health status. However, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. If you'd like, you can reach out to me for further assistance or clarification. You can contact me on WhatsApp at eight hundred nine eight two one three three two for a more detailed discussion and evaluation.
