Question: My husband suddenly is fatiqued every day. Eats good food, gets decent sleep, works physically hard
Brief Answer:
Different possible causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
There are different possible reasons for fatigue.
To find the exact cause, if it continues, he would need to be assessed by his doctor.
Some of the possible causes are:
(1) Acute infection- usually there are signs or symptoms pointing to the infection unless in the very early stage (first 1 to 3 days)
(2) Anemia -low blood count
(3) Low levels of thyroid hormone or other hormones such as testosterone
(4) Side effect of medication
(5) In rare cases, may be related to more serious conditions
(6) Electrolyte disorder
(7) Chronic illnesses
(8) Dehydration
If the symptom continues, physical examination and bloods may be needed - complete blood count, hormone levels, electrolytes, ESR (checks for inflammation in the body).
Treatment would depend on the cause found.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions.
