Hello,
Many reasons are there for sudden fatigue. Most common among them are anaemia, Vit B 12 deficiency etc.
Continuous work-related stress or depression due to the family issue may be the reason for sudden fatigue. You should check for any deficiency or any disease condition for a better outcome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
