Brief Answer:
Please have your blood work checked, you may have low blood counts

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM: Please note that your blood counts could be low and also your thyroid levels need to be checked, this is a common complaint and finding, also for males of course your testosterone may be low leading to low energy levels. Depending on where you stay, please note that Vit D deficiency has been directly linked with fatigue. Good luck and I hope this helps.
