Carnitine deficiency: Carnitine deficiency is when not enough of the nutrient 'carnitine' is available to the body. This can cause muscle weakness and heart or liver problems. Carnitine is obtained from foods, particularly animal-based foods. A carnitine deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough amount of carnitine from food. It is essential for a healthy life. Sometimes, your body is unable to absorb carnitine even if you are consuming it. Carnitine deficiency can lead to many health problems like encephalopathy (severe brain dysfunction), myopathy (muscle disease), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if the liver is affected, cardiomyopathy (heart problem), or swelling (oedema). Symptoms of carnitine deficiency are weakness in the hips, shoulders, upper arms and legs, and heart muscles, tiredness (fatigue), irritability, delayed movement (motor) development, and poor feeding in a baby.
