5. Muscle Weakness

Muscle weakness can affect the face, the body, or both at the same time. If muscle weakness appears in the face, it may cause drooping of the eyelid or ptosis, or difficulty smiling. On the other hand, when the muscle weakness is all over the body, it can be hard to distinguish from fatigue, which can come from mental ailments such as anxiety and depression, or physical ailments such as an imbalance in the body. General muscle weakness is also an early sign of atherosclerosis in the peripheral arteries.
