Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
there are various causes of fatigue. Causes range from
functional causes to infectious causes.
Hepatitis viral infections are common causes. Depression
also causes weakness, anemia or reduce blood level,
malnutrition etc.
Though rare, it is possible that your you could be suffering from
adrenal deficiency in which your supra-renal fails to produce enough
cortisol required by the body. This manifests as progressive fatigue
each day.
Hope this helps you
Best regards

Hello,
Generalized non specific weakness can be due to several reasons.
One needs to rule out few most comon causes-
get blood pressure checked, blood sugar fating, TSH, Sr. Vit. D, Complete blood count, sr. calcium and renal function test.
These will help us rule out diabetes, anemia, low blood pressure, hypothyroidism, low calcium or.vit D and any kidney problem which can commonly lead to constant weakness or lethargy.
Whatever is found disturbed should be treated and monitoring the progress will help you recover very fast.
So, please donot go for random hit and trial OTC meds. Get the right tests and then proceed.
Wish you luck.
