Suggest Tests To Diagnose Severe Fatigue In An Elderly Person
I am a 76 year old female, totally exhausted for last six months. I have checked all other problems...sleep apnea and chronic A fib. Liver stores came back 576. Dr says he doesn t think I have hemochromahtosis because blood stores are low and I don t have enough joint problems. Though I do have some. I am confused and unable to do anything. I was very active just a year ago.

Hi,
Sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation can cause excessive fatigue on their own, if they are not well regulated. Make sure that these conditions are optimally treated, e.g., with CPAP machine and beta blockers, digoxine etc.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
