How Can Severe Fatigue Be Treated?

Hello Doctor, I had a kidney transplant Nov 2014. I am 66 years old. I am experiencing fitigue and stamina issues. I have lost weight and exercise at the gym twice a week. I am active on the other days with a part time job and chores. I keep waiting to feel better, but I can t seem to get past the sluggish and fatigue I am feeling. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The casue for fatigue in your case could be due to protein and iron deficiency.
Kindly get your hemoglobin level along with total protein and albumin levels in serum checked.
Supplementation of these compounds needs to be done with care and with proper monitoring in your case.
Kindly consult Physician in this regard with the report for evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
