Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Your symptoms are either due to a thyroid problem, side effects of anti-depressant drugs (if you are on treatment); hormonal problems (if you are a female in postmenopausal phase); starvation/dieting; due to depression itself; or, dementia, depending on your age (not mentioned by you) .

The symptoms do not point towards chronic fatigue syndrome.

I hope your doctor has ordered relevant blood workup, keeping the above-mentioned conditions in mind.

Please check up with your doctor on this aspect.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
