What Causes Constant Tiredness And Lack Of Energy?

or the past few months I have been tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I have it never seems enough, its a real effort to get up in the mornings. I used to do a lot of exercise at the gym but I have not been in months as I just can't be bothered. I have lost a lot of enthusiasm and just can't be bothered to do anything, I used to be out all the time at the weekends and was very sociable but now all I want to do is stay in, in fact I could just sleep all day and not move from my home. Any ideas?

There are many many causes of tiredness and lack of energy. You could have sleep apnea, anemia, low thyroid, chronic fatigue syndrome, a chronic low-grade infection somewhere, liver disease, depression, or many other things. The only way to find out is to see your doctor and get tested. An examination may disclose a possible diagnosis, and blood tests could rule out some of the things I mentioned. Once you know what is causing it, you may be able to find a treatment that will help. Hope this answers your question.
