I’m a 40y male and have been experiencing extreme fatigue for approx. 1 month now. I worked night shift for approx. 1 year and currently quit d/t me having terrible panic attacks/ anxiety attacks for which I was treated. Its being 12 days since I quit working nights and switched to days now but I’m currently experiencing some extreme fatigue, I used to feel quite tired from working nights d/t my sleep patterns but know I’m getting back into a sleep routine which I have been sleeping well throughout the night approx. 7-9hrs of sleep, but instead of feeling better I feel worse my symptoms are for ex. If I go to the store or outside or at work I feel lightheaded, short of breath, increased heart rate, palms get sweaty and just plain tired. I’ve taken some days of work and been in bed/sleeping drinking plenty of water to see if I’m just worned out from the night shift. Also even after I eat I get or feel fatigued. Thank you so much for your website and appreciate your input in my problem I’m also listing the tests that been admin. EKG=normal, labs for heart issues=normal, Chest x-ray=normal, Ct scan of head=normal, My blood pressure is between 122/82 and 128/84 no orthostatic hypotension which I was examined for, I’m currently taking no medications, HT 5’7”, WT 162lbs I used to workout 3 to 4x a week but recently I haven’t d/t no energy. I feel as though my brain is in a fog as well. Doctor I hope you can help me Thank you so much again.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand your emotions. This so happens with almost all night shift workers. They don't get satisfactory sleep because of their stress.

I am afraid to tell you that there are only two ways to get rid of the problem. First - Accept and enjoy as 90% does. I assure you, the moment you change your mind and start enjoying even your non-satisfying sleep, your problems diminishes. Second - Leave the job and settle for another. do not mind even if you get low salary and incentives. You are doing it for peace of mind. Peace of mind cannot be brought with money.
