I've been feeling really weak and lethargic lately, along with this weird heaviness in my head and vibrations throughout my body. On top of that, there's this occasional loss of coordination when I move. What could be causing these symptoms?

I would recommend seeking medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol 500mg for relief from any associated headaches or body aches.
