See your doctor: You should go see your doctor. Get your thyroid, vit d level, and hormones (if indicated) checked. Also check for anemia. If at high risk, ask if you could have sleep apnea, heart disease or lung disease. Finally, ask if you should be screened for depression. Ask if you are at a healthy weight, and make sure you are exercising at an appropriate level for your age. Fatigue has many causes.
