Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

This could be due to a large number of causes. I am going to list some of the commonest causes, and the investigations associated with them. Let us know the reports so we can help you further

1. Obesity- if you are overweight, there is a high possibility that you snore and have developed what is known as a sleep apnea syndrome. The reult is that you feel sleepy all the time because the sleep is not refreshing. Suggest sleep study and ABG.

2. Anemia- low hemoglobin causes a lot of fatigue and tiredness, This in turn may cause feeling sleepy

3. Checking sugars, thyroid and vitamin D is a good idea too. Abnormalities of these may cause fatigue, and hence feeling of sleep again

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.
