Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for query have gone through your reports and attachment.
Lack of sleep is suggestive of anxiety issues.Anxiety itself can cause all the symptoms like malaise fatigue lassitude etc as narrated by you above.
As a Gastroenterologist i see lot of thyroid disorders patients usually presenting with these symptoms but your thyroid profile is normal this again drifts the primary diagnosis towards insomnia and gross anxiety.
The symptoms that you have mentioned are non specific ones.
You have gone through lot of investigations.
Except mild deranged lft(nonclinical significance) ,all the reports are normal.
For lethargy,anxiety and fatigue,please stop all the exercises you are doing now.
Practise Yoga and meditation.Do breathing exercises.
Take a multivitamin antioxidant capsule like Revital once daily for 3 weeks.
Everything will be alright.
Please do not go for further investigations.
You are not having any disease.
Please come back after practising Yoga and Meditation for few weeks.
For insomnia i would suggest you to take anxiolytic like Etizolam 0.25 mg once daily at night time before going to sleep for 2 weeks.As you will get a proper sleep your energy levels would return back to normal.Lack of proper sleep is responsible for lose of appetite.So as you can all systems are related to each other.
Rx
Tab etizolam 0.25 mg once daily at bed time
Tab Revital once daily
Follow up after 5 days.
Wish you good health
Regards
