General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Fatigue & sleepiness are commonly caused by general body weakness, anemia, thyroid dysfunction, fibromyalgia, vitamin deficiency (iron, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B12, folic acid, etc).

Other causes that may cause fatigue & sleepiness are anxiety, depression, food allergies, heart disease also causes fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Get physically examined. Get evaluated for the cause of the symptom & treated at the earliest. In the meantime take vitamin supplements, balanced diet, stay away from addictions if any, avoid anxiety & stress. Do regular exercises.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
