I've been feeling weak for about a month now. Even after something simple like climbing stairs or a bit of exercise, my heart rate goes up and I just feel exhausted. My appetite seems fine, so I'm wondering if it might be a vitamin or mineral deficiency or something. I also had a cough a while back that lasted over a month, and Ive been feeling this weakness ever since. What could be going on here?
