hi, he may just be over doing things and tiring himself out...may be you should ask the doctor about certain vitamins may be he is lacking some essential vitamin or just needs a boost it is worth a try...if he still carries on being tired look out for other symptoms you could have missed and go back to your doctor maybe get a second opinion, even if you think the doctor will say you are being silly...it is better to look silly and have your mind put at ease then have your husband poorly and tired...good luck i hope he improves.

You know your husband. You know the exact nature of the change... how he is now compared to before. How long have you noticed it? Sounds like something systemic has to be wrong, or maybe he is just going through that phase many men do at around that age where for the first time a man seriously confronts his own mortality and recognises that he just "ain't the hoss he used to be" My husband had a bout of it just short of when he hit 60. He had gone out to work in the yard and came in a few hours later absolutely pooped, and kept saying "Dang, I can't go the way I used to".
Another point is that although you say the doctor "checked him out" what does that really mean? A physical? or did the doctor order up a full blood check, which would have determined whether he might have type 2 diabetes, or perhaps something else in his blood picture that was a bit out of norm. If this was not done, it needs to be. The last thing in the world a person ever wants to hear somewhere down the road, is a doctor saying "If you had just had this investigated sooner, we might have been able to do something"
If your husband hasn't had his blood checked, get it done. If it's just a touch of the "olds" descended on him, be reassuring, and have him do a few things for you (that you could easily do yourself under other circumstances). A guy who has reached that stage in life where he can't quite handle e verything he used to be able to, may recognise it himself, but he will hate to actually talk about it. But he still needs to be made to feel "necessary".

It could be that he is stressed out. But there is chronic fatigue syndrome. A lot of doctors do not believe it exists. But there are a few symptons, tired, swollen lymph nodes and possible sore throat. I would defintely get a 2nd opinion. As well as make sure he excercises and takes a vitamin w/ vitamin b-12 and iron.

How much does he work? Does he take lots of asprin or pain killers? These all tend to do that. Tired is a habit. The more you do the more you feel like doing. Setting around tired is the same way. Drag him out and do something. Walks, or what ever you enjoy.

Has he been checked for cancer...that will make you tired all the time....how's his appetite...cancer will make you not feel like eating...have this done if it hasn't been done already. Also colon cancer is right up there with prostate cancer as the big 2 for men. My dad died at 61 because a doctor didn't tell him to get checked for colon cancer. He thought he was just getting fat, but his colon burst because a tumor grew for 2 years and he didn't survive. If he finds it soon enough, it can be taken care of and your odds are significantly better. don't ever let a doctor tell you...no that's not it and you don't need a test. insist your tested, better you know, so you can fight it.

Does he snore a lot, or really loudly at night? If he does, then he is not getting a good nights rest. It's called sleep apnoea (spelling?)...look into it. Good luck!

If he's been checked with the doctor and he's healthy then it could be that he's not resting enough or just getting lazy.

Diet? Exercise? Boredom? Could be many things. Have him see a psychologist, as well as a GP. He might be depressed.
