Continuous Extreme Fatigue - A question from a Facebook user

  • 4
So I have had "brain fog" for 2 weeks now accompanied by extreme fatigue. I'm 40 yo female. I have had my thyroid and iron checked before both were fine. Any ideas what this might be? So frustrating! I feel like I have just woken up from a deep sleep all day long.

Your symptoms may also be caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep-disordered breathing, heart disease, anemia, etc. You can check blood pressure, blood sugar, electrocardiogram, blood routine, etc. At the same time, you need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive assessment of your physical condition.

As would be expected, hypothyroidism and anemia would be the leading 2 common causes of lack of energy and fatigue. So your doctors have ruled these out.I am really not into what might be the underlying problem. If I were the treating physician, I would suggest a brain MRI scan to see if you have any brain abnormalities. Some common causes of extreme fatigue include heart failure, fibromyalgia, and depression, but I don't think what you have could be any of these.

It is not thyroid problem. Not anemia. Other causes include the following. Do not know much about this.

  • Diabetes
  • Heart ailments
  • Lung Problems
  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Cancer
When I feel that way I have pneumonia or sinus infection
