Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Noted your symptoms.
We need to rule out cause of your symptoms.
It could be just the weather. However, at your age , we need to rule out few other causes.

Noted that you are only on Tylenol as a medication.

You may need to do a CBC, fasting glucose, Urine Routine , serum electrolytes and a Thyroid function test. This is to rule out infection and other causes of tiredness.
