Sir, I am 20 years old male. I had been on low carb diet (no rice, reduced roti to 3 from 4, eat only 2 times a day) for 4-5 months (march- august 2017) for weight loss during which my weight reduced from 75 kg to 61.2 kg .During this period alongside with dieting I started running for 10 mins daily but soon after 10 days of running I developed symptoms of low bp, fatigue, weakness, poor sleep ,mild hair loss ,complete inability to exercise ,poor cognitive functions, zero sex drive. Due to this I can not exercise anymore and since then these symptoms persisted till now. I had several blood tests namely CBC, TSH,LFT, KFT,SGOT, SGPT out of which all came to be normal. All these symptoms reduced for 3 months (october-dec 2017) when I was on vitamin d3 supplementation but reappeared since I had fever (due to cold) in winter (jan 2018) with new symptom of cold hands and feet and vitD3 supplements seems to stopped working .Also these symptoms tend to reduce a little in evening which did not happened before vitd3 supplementation .I get my 25 hydroxy vitD3 checked which came out to be 82.4. This problem seriously damaged my academics (one semester back and 3 back in next semester) as I can not study even a little bit. Even I had restored my previous eating patterns I can not gain weight anymore. I had seen many doctors but all in vain. I am feeling suicidal nowadays. please help! I suspect it to be adrenal fatigue. Should I get my ACTH checked?
