Brief Answer:
Try home remedies and visit a physician.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I understand your concerns. Your symptoms can be due to vitamin deficiency, anemia, thyroid disorders, stress, alcohol intake, lack of sleep or excess sleep, etc.

I would suggest you to try deep breathing exercises, walking/jogging, lots of fluid intake, adequate sleep and healthy diet(fresh fruits and vegetables).

If your symptoms persist or worsens I would suggest you to meet a physician for blood test to rule out anemia, thyroid disorders, vitamin B12 deficiency.

I hope this answered your query.

With regards,
