What Causes Excess Tiredness And Fatigue?

I m a 41 y.o. female. Always so tired, especially during the day. I get about 7 hours of sleep per night. About an hour after I wake up, I find myself falling asleep in the car, on the couch, or wherever I am at the time. I take daily vitamins along with an Iron pill. Not sure what else to do or what could be wrong with me.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache , dizziness and fatigue . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like low blood sugar or iron , hormonal imbalance , sleeping apnea , anxiety and stress .I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , check vitals or may also order sleep study . Doctor may prescribe iron supplement , recommend CPAP machine after sleep study or may refer you to endocrinologist for proper examination. For now keep yourself hydrate , stress free , eat healthy diet like fruits and vegetables and do light exercises like brisk walk and yoga daily .
