Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Excessive tiredness and sleepiness can be associated with anaemia.
You can take Iron and folic acid tablet once a day for 1 month after food. Take protein supplement powder like B-protein or Proteinex with milk twice daily.
Consume iron rich foods like jaggery, dark green leafy vegetables and dates.
By about 2 weeks, your symptoms should become better.
For over-weight, you need to continue to have healthy fat free diet combined with exercise.
Wish you good health.
