Post-exercise malaise

I suffer from post-exercise malaise and fatigue three hours after, and the next day after, modest exercise, i.e., a slow 20-minute jog. or a slow swim of 8 lengths in a pool. I try to do one or the other every two or three days. My doctor doesn't know what it is, and referred me to a sports medicine doctor who did blood tests doesn't know what it is either. Is the immune system being suppressed? What can this be? Should I see an endocrinologist? It's getting in the way of leading a productive life.

Thank you for this Robert. It's especially helpful to determine what it isn't, using the process of elimination. I will post anything I learn right away, including any other forum. I didn't get the private message from Daniiiii.

Can you just describe this link to us? Was there more than one individual afflicted with this condition in the discussion that you describe?

What other key words do you think we should be using to attract more interested parties, rather than just "post-exercise malaise"?

And what other medical information links are there that we could pursue? I tried the Mayo Clinic, without success.
