What Causes Constant Tiredness, Drowsiness And Temperamental Behavior?

Im 19, I ve Recently Graduated High School.. I Feel Tired All The Time.. All I Feel Like Doing Is Sleeping. The Past Few Weeks Have Been The Worse. I ll Stay In My Bed Practically All Day Only Get Up To Use The Bathroom Or Get Food. I Don t Feel Like Doing Anything. I Get Annoyed Quick With People. Like For Instance My Brother Could Ask Me To Help Him With Something And Id Get Annoyed And Mad For No Reason.. The Past Two Weeks Have Been Even Worse. I ll Wake Up To Having Diarrhea All Day Where I Normally Have Normal Bowel Movements. I Don t Wanna Eat Really.. My Right Leg Has Been Hurting And The Nerves Around My Knee Keep Jumping.. What Could Be Wrong With Me?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, I really appreciate your concern. Tiredness and drowsiness could be due to diarrhea. If you are having diarrhea since 2 weeks then first treat it with antibiotics and antiprotozoal medicines. Diarrhea leads to loss of fluid and electrolyte from the body which can cause fatigue and temperamental changes you are facing. Calf pain and pulsating vessels are sign of dehydration.
For fluid replacement you should take Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) insted of plain water. ORS solution can be prepared from the ORS sachet available in the market. Alternatively, you can prepare ORS at home by mixing 1 liter of water, 1 scoop of sugat and 1 pinch of common salt. Drink as much as you want to relieve your thirst.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
