Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If you are a female, sexually active, then rule out pregnancy first. The symptoms could also be due to could be due to menopause/hormonal imbalance of PCOD/low testosterone in males, 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.
Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!

This could be related to anxiety and it sounds like you are developing panic attacks.  See you physician if you are running into bouts of not being able to breathe.

Hi,
You cant make a diagnosis based on some symptoms, you should have some evidence. I suggest you get a CBC, full profile and a b12 test done. This could be anemia or b12 deficiency.
Keep me posted. Take care
