What Causes Severe Fatigue In An Elderly Person?

I have a severe malaise or fatigue, I am a 49 year old female, I am an athlete and have noticed that I am extremely slow to recover from my normal sports. It is almost like I have lead in my veins. I have been taking a multivitamin each night and a B complex each day. I am and have been a vegetarian for over forty years and I work very diligently to get plenty of protein into my daily diet. Last year when I had a hysterectomy the blood work showed plenty of protein and no anemia. Thank you, Elizabeth
