A member asked:

Will a herpes infection cause someone to be tired all the time and sleep all the time, basically will it cause fatigue ?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Herpes and Fatigue: This is very unlikely to be the cause of your fatigue. Your question leads to more questions and no answers. There are many common causes of fatigue and a good physician will know how to evaluate this for you. But, i doubt that herpes is the reason.
