What Causes Tiredness And Sleeplessness?

default
Posted on Sat, 2 Aug 2014
Question: Hi.. so I'm not overly sure whats been going on. I find I'm extremely tired all of the time, borderline exhaustion. I'm physically active, working out/running 5-6 days a week. I have trouble sleeping at night sometimes, but still feel like i'm getting enough sleep. I also find that I'm constantly cold. I wouldn't usually worry about these things, however I'm losing motivation to be physically active. I'm also having a hard time eating, I don't really get hungry anymore. I was just wondering if this is something hormonal that could be going on?

Brief Answer:
Thyroid function test needs to be done...

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you for posting!

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

First of all, I think that your overall health condition is good. But, time after time it is necessary that you change your lifestyle, in order to avoid monotony which might be the cause of interest loss and tiredness.

Sometimes, things like that are caused by a change in the hormonal activities of the thyroid. For this reason, a thyroid function test and a complete blood count need to be done.

The test result will tell if these symptoms are caused by thyroid activity and will help your endocrinologist to determine an exact treatment.

Ask me if you need any clarification.

All the best,
Dr. Behar.
