Hi
Usually These are the symptoms of deficiency of calcium. But to confirm ypu get your blood test done for the calcium.
And also get your iron also check as sometimes that also causes issue.
After the testing I would recommend you to meet me for one to one counseling session to check whats wrong in your diet and what all foods you can include to remove the deficiency from your body.
If you want to discuss further you can opt personal chat option.
Meet a Dietician/Nutritionist for counseling after Blood test.
Eat healthy!! Stay Healthy !! As it's the body in which you have to live in!
