Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Always feeling sick?: Hi i often hear this complaint from relatively healthy people. First and foremost is getting good nutrition and enough sleep. Avoiding alcohol, cigarettes and obesity can help. If you truly are always sick a good extensive physical with labwork and then consultation with a trusted medical advisor is wise.
