10 Symptoms of Hypoxia

Symptom #7: Harder to Move
Moving is usually quite easy for us. The brain sends a message to the muscles and they act accordingly, making us move in an instant. In many cases, such movements are subconscious so we don’t even have to think about them at all.
With insufficient oxygen in the body, though, moving can become a great deal harder than it usually is. Without sufficient oxygen, it becomes harder for the brain to work as it should, which includes making us move. What’s more is that the muscles also require oxygen in order to work so hypoxia can make it harder to make these simple movements.
