Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
There are several reasons which could be causing this.
It appears most likely that you have anaemia, i.e a low hemoglobin level.
Low hemoglobin level is responsible for you feeling tired all day.

If I were your treating doctor, I'd advice you to -

1. Undergo complete blood count to know your blood parameters.
2. If your hemoglobin is low (as it appears to be), I'd start you on Iron tablets .
If hemoglobin is too low, you may require Iron injections or even a blood transfusion.
3. Rule out other causes of tiredness like infections.
4. Advice a diet rich in iron such as jaggery, spinach, green leafy vegetables, non-vegetarian food.

Hope I've solved your query. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.


Regards,
Dr, Sridhar Reddy
