Suggest Treatment For Constant Lethargy
Evaluation of Lethargy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,
Lethargy can be a manifestation of very wide range of conditions.
Here are examples to mention a few:
-Anemia, blood disorders, vitamin deficiencies
-Hypothyroidism (decreased thyroid levels)
-Auto immune disorders
-Infections, Inflammatory conditions
-Diabetes
-Hypertension
-Cardiac problems including coronary artery disease, heart failure
-Depression, early dementia
-Sleep problems like sleep apnoea
-Underlying Malignancies
-Certain medications
Lethargy alone is a very non-specific symptom. If you have any other symptoms associated with fatigue, please mention here so that I can give a bit more specific answer.
If fatigue alone is your concern, you may need extensive evaluation at this point.
A thorough physical examination, Complete blood count, Hemoglobin, Complete metabolic profile, Thyroid function test, Blood pressure measurement, EKG, Urine analysis, Stool analysis are all warranted for the evaluation of fatigue.
Hope I was able to help you
