What Causes Tiredness And Drowsiness While On Metformin For Diabetes?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic With a history of hypothyroidism, you may first want to confirm that your thyroid hormone levels are normal. Other causes would be anemia, sleep disorders, fatigue related to chronic medical illness, side effect of medication, depression. A blood test can assess for anemia and your doctor can check for any other problems as well The treatment would depend on the cause. I hope this helps
