Hi,
You will need a check to find out the cause of your fatigue. Some tests are needed like:
CBC, ERS, glucose and lipids level, creatinine and electrolyte levels, TSH, ALT and AST and urinalysis- these are basic tests to do.
Meanwhile make sure you do eat regular meals and drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
