Is this sentence grammatically correct ? Is it makes sense ?

Dear friends I would be more than oblige if you could see and tell me this sentence is gramatically correct or not. I want to know it makes sense or not. On grammar part I think all seems ok but still would be happy to know corrections from you if there is any. Here is my sentence: "I perhaps would have replied you sooner if my busyness was physically tiring not mentally"
Is it sounds ok to you ?
Thanks

That's a lot of information to put in one sentence. You need something more like this: I might have replied to you sooner if I had been [occupied / busy] with something physically, rather than mentally, tiring. CJ

Thanks for your reply but you didn't tell my sentence is correct or not ? Actually usage of word "busyness" is for some specifix purpose. So I can't replace it.

"I perhaps would have replied you sooner if my busyness was physically tiring not mentally"

No, it's not correct. replied to you, not replied you.

One could argue that was should be had been.

Other than that, it's just a matter of punctuation and being more idiomatic.

physically tiring not mentally is difficult to gras
