Answer 2

I would make an appointment with your doctor of choice and get a complete physical. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a little over a year ago. I had some other things going on, so I pretty much ignored the diagnosis. Plus, I still felt fine for several months. Now, I'm so tired I can hardly get through the day, plus the thyroid problem has caused me to have an accelerated heartrate. Now, I'm scheduled to have my thyroid gland removed.

See a doctor and get that physical. Whatever is causing your fatigue is most likely very minor, but if you let it continue unchecked, it could lead to a more serious issue. I wish you good health.

Answer 3

You may have what is called Sleep Apnea. It usually affects heavier set people, people with large necks or people with loose tissue in the back of their mouth. Basically you sleep, but you do not get into the deep sleep realms where you rest. This happens because of the obstruction in the back of your mouth or your weight causes you to choke when your muscles relax when falling asleep. So basically you wake yourself up and go back to sleep constantly throughout the night without even knowing about it (subconciously).

some of the signs that I know of that you may have sleep apnea:
-loud snoring
-twitching when sleeping
-lack of dreams
-being tired all the time

Answer 4

What are you eating? What are you drinking?

No food/snacks 3 hours before bedtime. Stop caffeine after 2 pm. No alcohol before bedtime. Get some exercise, but not right before bedtime.

Take some vitamins. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. If you are still having problems, you may want to talk about this with your doctor. There may be some sleep problems or other problems he/she can talk to you about.

Answer 5

Have you checked with your doctor about a sleep study test? Maybe you have sleep apnea, keeping you from your REM sleep. This diagnosis seems to be the catch-all diagnosis for people who feel tired after sleeping all night. It's just a thought. Good luck. Hope you feel better.

Answer 6

I was tired all the time, and I found out I'm diabetic. It could be a number of things. Not enough sleep, too much sleep, stress etc. If it bothers you so much seek a professional for a consultation.

Answer 7

Drink some strong ars coffee in the morning like I doo. I mean, not just the random starbucks sissy coffee that those flamers brew, Im talking about going down to you local supermarket and buy some folgers dark or something like that, taking it home, and then when you wake up in the morning, put about 1 scoop of coffee to every cup of water, and you will get LIT UP. Thats what I do every single day, and I thrive ba bay!

Answer 8

Start taking liquid iron and liquid multi-vitamins, daily, especially B vitamins. Deficiencies in iron and B vitamins cause tiredness and sluggishness, lack of power and generally feeling down. Most of us can't really absorb this in tablet form.

Try "Emergen-C" (vitamins) and "Floradix" (iron)

If after a week you are still the same, see a doctor, it could be something else going on!

Answer 9

could be your iron level, could be depression, could be your not sleeping well when you do sleep ( lack of oxygen, bad mattress, back problems ..these 3 things are what usually makes you tired of all the time...there are a few other things that will make you tired...late stages of cancer..certain illnesses..but check the easier ones first.

Answer 10

Have your doctor do a blood work-up on you.

You may have an infection that you are not aware of.

If it comes up negative....try taking zinc plus echinacea supplements.

They will kick any little virus you have out of your system. Only take for about ten days. I take them whenever I feel rundown or a cold coming on.
It really works and you can pick them both up at Walgreens, CVS, etc.

But, please, get checked out by your doctor. Chronic Fatigue could be an underlying factor of so many types of medical conditions.....such as depression, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, etc. Please see your doctor.
