General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello, I really appreciate your concern. You work for seven days a week in hot and humid atmosphere with excessive sweating which leads to constant loss of water and electrolytes from your body. Excessive loss and imbalance of electrolyte in the body could be the cause for your fatigue and tiredness. In severe imbalance your body can be paralyzed also. For that loss, your body should be filled with more amount of electrolytes.
I advise you to have small electrolyte rich drinks in between work. There are many preparations of energy and electrolyte drinks available in the market for the same purpose. More you sweat, more you should have water with electrolyte.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
