I am tired most of the time (want to take naps through the day) when i don't have caffeine etc. i am 22 is this likely due to something serious like cancer or likely due to my weight or something like that as i am 300 pounds?

Many causes for fatigue.Your doctor should do a full evaluation and testing.Weight may be contributing, especially if you are not active or not eating healthily (not be getting proper vitamins or iron).There also could be an underlying thyroid or other hormonal reason for both the weight gain and fatigue.Your weight may also be causing you to not breathe properly at night, then not sleeping well.
