What's going on with me?

[karaaj15]

I'm a 22 year old female and over the past couple of months I have been exhausted. It doesn't matter how long I sleep, if I exercise or relax. I'm always feeling tired. I have no motivation, little energy and a low mood. Is this normal?

I'm 32 and over weight but ate very little and was tired,depressed,no energy and mood the same at you i thought it was because of my weight and my doctor did some blood work and it turned out to be a hypothroid she put me on mediction and i feel better no more depression, more energy and my weight is slowly coming off and my hair and skin even looks better!

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Extreme fatigue could be due to hormonal imbalance of PCOD, anemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, or due to kidney or liver problems. Another possibility is sleep disturbances (like sleep apnea, imbalance of rapid eye and non rapid eye movement sleep etc.). You may sleep your customary 7-8 hours and yet feel fatigued. You need sleep studies to rule this out. Other possibilities are chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, low Vit b12, low iron, low calcium, sodium and potassium. Hyperthyroidism too causes increased sweating and tiredness.   Postviral fatigue syndrome is another possibility. Persisting EBV infection or mono can also be the cause. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
