Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband is 59 years, 6 feet and roughly 350 pounds. He is extremely fatigue and has no energy to do anything. I know the holidays are stressful to begin with but we also going an audit. I m concerned because all he wants to do is sleep, then he stays up all night playing games on his cell phone.
Hi! I suggest that your husband is obese for his height and weight. I would ask you to investigate issues like hormonal problems and diabetes. This can be done with a blood test. Specifically T3, T4 and TSH tests. Low thyroid activity can slow down a person and make him feel like eating and sleeping excessively. Thanks for your question, please follow the suggestions. Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
