Does Shingles Cause Extreme Fatigue?

Hi, I leant over a railing by my (R) rib I felt like I got electrocuted. I thought it was a bruise my doctor thinks it is shingles. I have maybe one or two small pimples. She put me on Acyclovir and Gabapentin it is my second day. I feel a little less pain. Would you recommend I still get an X-ray or give the pills time? Also, would I feel more tired with shingles?
