A member asked:
Doctors, can my being very overweight & unfit cause me to feel so drained and tired all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hi. Yes, being obese and out of shape is hard on the body. I never tell my obese patients to diet...it doesn't work. But you should eat healthily and exercise regularly (walking as briskly as possible at least) for life. If you have diseases caused by obesity (diabetes, sleep apnea, high BP, etc), you may be a candidate for aggressive bariatric surgery. Talk with your doctor about this. Good luck!
