What Causes Tiredness After A Carpel Tunnel Release Surgery?

I had carpel tunnel release surgery 4 weeks ago. Since, I have been terribly lethargic and sleep much more than us normal. I have no energy and get very hot with even the smallest exertion. (My hand is healing very well.) I am currently treated for Hashimoto s Disease. Is it possible that the surgery/ anesthesia has caused my thyroid levels to fluctuate? Should I have my levels tested?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, its not related to your surgery, being a hand surgeon myself I know this could not be due to surgery or the anesthesia, as time of 4 weeks has passed, now the main suspects are your thyroid status or any nerve drugs like methylcobalamine or pregabalin if you are taking, getting thyroid status done is a good idea, Proceed.....................
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
