Question: I am a 61 year old, overweight ( 293 lbs.) male, who suffers from chronic fatigue. I use a CPAP machine and sleep well but I am always tired. I have a heart condition but it is under control using medication given by my cardiologist. I exercise 3 x /week but have difficulty doing my routine. Is there a medication,( Zinc?, vitamins etc) or supplement I could take to help boost my energy level? I also suffer from hypothyroidism that is controlled with medication. Hope you can help me out with my chronic fatigue.

Hi,
The very first thing is to understand why you are having chronic fatigue:
- being overweight which might impede being enough physically involved
- the type of your heart condition

- diet
So, I need first to evaluate all these factors and to identify what is causing chronic fatigue. After that, can decide the right treatment.
It is true that there are many supplementation to help you boost your energy levels, including various vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts. The decision is made after evaluating your health condition and knowing the current medications you are taking.
