Get a workup done: The diagnosis of fatigue is sometimes easy, sometimes elusive. You should see your doctor and have some tests and an exam done. In addition to a complete physical exam, a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic profile, thyroid tests, and vitamin d level are a good start. Also if you are male checking your testosterone level would be appropriate. Also ask about sleep apnea.
