What Causes Fatigue Along With Excessive Sleepiness And Sweating?

i have been feeling very tired, weak and sleepy. No energy at all. I have been sweating a lot, which is uncommon. Lately I noticed the whites of my eyes have a yellow color. does this sound unusual for a 61 year old woman? I am overweight and have a lot of stress right now
