Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am worried about my lack of energy. I sleep from anywhere between 8 hours to 12 hours a night. However, I am constantly tired, always have a headache and no matter what I do I feel I am not 100% there. I am 22 years old college student, female.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Constant tiredness could be caused due to iron deficiency from 'anaemia'. Kindly get a complete blood count with peripheral smear examination done. If it indicates iron deficiency, you need to take iron supplements and iron rich foods in the diet. Headache could have been caused due to refractory errors of your eyes. Kindly get your eye checked up by consulting Opthalmologist. Adequate correction when given for refractory errors will help to overcome headache. Hope the information provided would be helpful. Al the best. Regards, Dr. Ashakiran.S., MBBS., MD.
