Sleepiness: Yes, excessive sleepiness can be a symptom of an underlying medical problem, such as sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, anemia, cardiac disease, diabetes. You should see your primary care physician to have an evaluation and possible some blood tests to narrow down the diagnosis.

I have been feeling sleepy and energy levels are low. I had a good sleep last night and there have been no other noticeable symptoms. I tried basic things like taking a walk outside, drinking water, a small cup of coffee... Anything to worry here?
