What Causes Fatigue Along With Depression?
I have fatigue including waking up tired in the morning with depression but bouts of extreme irritability. I happened to be wearing my heart rate monitor when one of these bouts happened today and my heart rate was 197. I had cardiac ablation for SVT 5 years ago with only 2 incidents since that time. I also am orthostatic with vertigo

Hello,
In my experience with patients of supra ventricular tachycardias, fatigue is common after an increased heart rate as this wears you out. If i were in your place i would definitely get an urgent ECG done to make sure the heart is fine. As in my opinion the reason for your fatigue and depression seems to be due the increased heart rate.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
