What Causes Tiredness, Weakness, Drowsiness And Cold?
Question: With the B-Vitamin deficiency I am most of the time too tired to exercise. When I do try to exercise I get very ill, weak, sleepy and tired. What suggestions do you have for me to start out with for doing something as far as exercising. I even seem to start getting a cold, you know, like I feel like I'm catching a cold every time I attempt to exercise or exert myself. I am very scared.
Brief Answer:
Could be Hypothyroidism or Anemia
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam!
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I understand your concern.The symptoms you described like tiredness,sleepy, weak and increased sensitivity to cold makes me think of Hypothyroidism and Anemia.
Hypothyroidism is more common in older women.If I were your doctor I would like to get you a TSH and a complete blood count done to know the exact status.One to two weeks after starting treatment, you'll notice that you're feeling less fatigued.
Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.
