Get checked out.: Fatigue can be a function of anemia which may be related to blood loss from heavy periods. Question is...What's causing your heavy periods? It may be time to go to the gyn for an exam/ultrasound to look for a reason for this. If you've always had heavy bleeding then consider a bleeding/clotting disorder. Start w/ Ibuprofen and iron supplements. Consider a contraceptive to thin your uterine lining.
