What Causes Severe Fatigue?

I seem to feel more fatigued than I remember since last summer. I walk early, 10,000 steps, am not over weight, sleep well, see my doctor for regular checks but the heat and weather seems to be making me have less energy now that I am 76 Sorry this does not seem like a question.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should get done full body checkup today find out the cause for your weakness.
St old age (76 years), undiagnosed heart and lung diseases can cause similar symptoms.
Sometimes low hemoglobin, calcium deficiency, vitamin D3 and B12 deficiency etc can also cause similar symptoms.
So consult doctor and get done full body checkup including heart, lung and blood reports to rule out above mentioned causes.
If deficiency then you will need supplements.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
