How To Treat Extreme Fatigue In A 79 Years Old Male?
My husband, a med member, Arlie White, is extremely tired and sleeps 10 hours at night and at least 2 during the day. I have listed his meds here. His heart doctor and our family doctor are involved. He drinks one cocktail a day, he is 79 years old. What do you advise?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.

Tell me following:
