My father feels very weak. Could this be a symptom of paralysis? He is currently taking Nodosis Tablet, Amlopres-5 Tablet, Shelcal-500 Tablet, Rocaltrol 0.25 mcg Capsule, Atrovast-40 Tablet, Ecosprin 75 Tablet, Clopitab Tablet, and Thyrox 100 Tablet. His creatinine level is 2.2, sodium is 130, haemoglobin is 11.5, and his blood pressure is 140/86. Please advise us on what we should do.

Your father's weakness may be caused by several factors, not just paralysis. His high creatinine, low sodium, anaemia, and elevated blood pressure may be contributing factors. Do not stop any of his medicines. Arrange an urgent appointment with his doctor to review his health condition and current medications to determine the exact cause of his weakness.
