Brief Answer: Constipation and fatigue have many causes Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX From your query it seems that you are suffering from constipation and fatigue (lazyness, weakness). These together are seen in some conditions like hypothyroidism, celiac disease, etc. Though mostly they are- caused by different conditions and may not be related. Thus I will suggest you to get some blood tests done to rule out common conditions that can cause fatigue. The tests can include thyroid profile, sr hemoglobin, complete blood count, serum folic acid levels, serum vit B12 levels, serum calcium and serum Vit D levels, SGOT, SGPT, BUN, serum creatinine levels, etc. Urinalysis may also be done. Now coming to your main complaint of constipation, you need to change your lifestyle to deal with it. My advise will be as following: - Take high fiber diet and more of fruits and vegetables - Drink plenty of pure drinking water. Take one glass water early in the morning - can take fiber supplement like metamucil or can also try lactulose syrup for some time (whichever suits you) - tummy massage can also help - exercise for atleast 20 min a day - eating 3 or 4 prunes a day is a natural way of dealing with it. - Do not strain while passing stools Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further. Dr Vaishalee
