Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

If the investigations are not significant regarding anemia, metabolic issues or any pulmonary and cardiac cause then its unlikely to be a serious cause.

One possible solution that can be employed empirically is correction of water soluble vitamins and other minerals / trace elements. A month course of multivitamins such as theragran ultra can be advised. Arcalian (sulbutiamine) is also used for treating exhaustion / fatigue of unknown origin.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
