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.
What Could Be The Reason For Having Tiredness And Sleepy?
I am very tired. Sleepy really. I m wondering if it could be allergies. I am 73 years old. My head feels full and it is hard for me to get motivated to do anything, especially anything that requires thought processing. I am sleeping 9 - 10 hours a night and take a 1-2 hour nap during the day. I would really like to get some energy back. I eat healthy, am not overweight (129 lbs, 5 5 tall). I have always been active.
