Answer 1

lack of iron. Try taking iron tablets. But if that doesnt work go and see your doctor as you might be anemic

Answer 2

How long has it been since you had a physical exam? It's possible you have a sleep disorder such as apnea which causes you to not get restorative rest and thus you're always tired. Are you anemic? There may be something lacking in your diet or the way your body metabolizes your food. Have blood work done. It's vital that you talk to your doctor and find out if there's a physiological cause. Depression also could be the problem.

Persistent pain
Sleep disorders such as ongoing insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, or narcolepsy
Underactive thyroid or overactive thyroid
Use of alcohol or illegal drugs like cocaine, especially with regular use


Fatigue can also accompany the following illnesses:

Addison's disease
Anorexia or other eating disorders
Arthritis, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
Anemia iron deficiency or mineral deficiency
Autoimmune diseases such as lupus
Cancer
Chronic liver or kidney disease
Congestive heart failure
Diabetes
Infection, especially one that takes a long time to recover from or treat such as bacterial endocarditis (infection of the heart muscle or valves), parasitic infections, AIDS, tuberculosis, and mononucleosis
Malnutrition
Certain medications may also cause drowsiness or fatigue, including antihistamines for allergies, blood pressure medicines, sleeping pills, steroids, and diuretics.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition that starts with flu-like symptoms and lasts for 6 months or more. All other possible causes of fatigue are eliminated before this diagnosis is made. Little relieves CFS, including rest.


Here are some tips for reducing fatigue:

Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Exercise regularly. This will increase your energy levels. .
Learn better ways to relax. Try yoga or meditation.
Maintain a reasonable work and personal schedule.
Change your stressful circumstances, if possible. For example, switch jobs, take a vacation, and deal directly with problems in a relationship.
Take a multivitamin or minerals. . Talk to your doctor about what is best for you.
Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and drug use.
If you have chronic pain or depression, treating either often helps address the fatigue. However, some antidepressant medications may cause or worsen fatigue. Your medication may have to be adjusted to avoid this problem. DO NOT stop or change any medications without instruction from your doctor.

Stimulants (including caffeine) are NOT effective treatments for fatigue, and can actually make the problem worse when the drugs are stopped. Sedatives also tend to worsen fatigue in the long run.
