What Could Cause Excess Tiredness?
Thanks!I am very tired today and feel like I would like to go to bed....which I never nap in the day. I take blood pressure meds and just took my blood pressure. Not bad. 103/62 with a 65 pulse. I have my own wrist gauge, and an excellent blood pressure program which I log my pressure maybe every other day or so. Gives my doc wonderful readings over a month, 6 months, etc. if he needs them. I have had the band calibrated. Why am I soo tired. I have a cat that is 22 and has hyper-thyroid and that depresses me badly.

Hi,
So, you want to know the cause of excessive tiredness. Since you have a history of thyroid dysfunction (Hyperthyroidism), it can be the major cause of fatigue or tiredness that your feel.
Overactive thyroid causes irritability, anxiety, insomnia & disturbed sleep patterns making the patient tired. Visit ER, get a follow up treatment done.
You should get repeat T3, T4, TSH done & continue to take the prescribed medications by your treating doctor. Get evaluated, get treated. Get a thorough health check up done as tiredness can also be due to anemia, fibromyalgia, CAD.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
