My age is 38 & I weigh about 98 kgs. I am a working professional. From the last 2 months I feel that I have lost the energy I used to have. I feel very tired by the time I reach home from job. Whole day I feel drowsy inspite of about 6 hrs of sleep. At times I feel so low that I think I will fall down. Also since the last 2 months I have unbearable pain in my knee, ankle and calf. I have noticed that there are green veins running towards the ankle area. Kindly suggest what should I do to help my self.
