Question Title: Hepatitis C / CHF/ Diabetes/ Sleep Apnea

Dear Sue:

I appreciate your question, but I’m afraid I am a little limited in how specific I can be. Fatigue is a common symptom and can reflect almost any significant disease. There would be a large number of potential causes for severe fatigue in an elderly man over 78.

I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have additional information or questions, I would invite you to post the material to MEDHELP or to contact us directly at Henry Ford (313) 916-8865. We have an active group of liver specialists and we have a strong interest in and experience with hepatitis C and liver transplant.
