What Causes Prolonged Extreme Fatigue?
Hello! My husband has been experiencing extreme fatigue for two years which has actually gotten worse as of late instead of better. He is a former triathlete but has been sidelined from competition for quite some time. He has seen several doctors and had multiple tests and blood work ups, all without any significant findings. Just about everything from Epstein Barr to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to Overtraining Syndrome has been ruled out. Today he tried working out on the treadmill and his heart rate was 170! A recent EKG showed normal heart function. Any ideas?
