Fatigue, Lack Of Energy, Unable To Pay Attention And Focus. Show A Way

I am 24 years old female, i work and also go to school,
however though I have a problem and that is my lack of energy, I am always tired, am always very sleepy.
that is affecting my school work because I never have enough energy to get to work, and also I tend to distract a lot.
During class am either sleepy or daydreaming not paying attention, when I try to do homework its hard to start or to continually work on it without distractions.
how can I increase my energy and focus.
and I know excersise is a way but I really do not want to do anything, and is not like am lazy I just do not want to do anything not even feel like going out.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From your history it seems that you are having generalized weakness and less protein intake.
It is possible that you might have anemia giving rise to this problem.
Go for following tests,
1, blood hemoglobin level,
2, S. B12 level,
3, thyroid function tests,
4, blood sugar.
After all reports we can have some conclusion about your problem and go for treatment accordingly.
Meanwhile take high protein diet and some multivitamin supplements.
Ok and bye.
