Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Congestive heart failure, particularly in the advanced stages, can cause severe fatigue or weakness. Additionally, diabetes can affect the nerves of the legs and feet, which can cause problems in standing.
Proper management of CHF and diabetes can help you get rid of this fatigue.
Hope this helps.
