Hello,

At your age of 17 years, anemia, hypoproteinemia, hypothyroidism etc can cause similar kind of fatigue. So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination, hemoglobin estimation, serum protein level and thyroid function test. If all these are normal then no need to worry much. Sometimes undiagnosed stress and depression can also cause similar symptoms.

So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anti depressant or mood elevator drugs. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.

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