Not likely: You've been having a hard time trying to pin down your health problem. That's stressful and so can exhaust you severely. It is a common side effect but it not likely to still be connected to it. Consider a Health Psychologist to guide you through Dx/Tx/frustration of medical mysteries. You can learn how to understand your body's reactions to stress and get some control over it. Best!
