General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Susan. Good day to you. Since you have a case of CAD and all these other problems, that itself could be a direct cause of your decreased energy levels. But you could also be suffering from depression. Please consult a psychiatrist and let yourself be assessed for depression since it has been known to occur in some CAD patients. If depression is identified as the cause of your symptoms, then anidepressant medications will surely help you get more out of life and be more energetic and lively. Take care. Hope this helps a lot.
