Hello! I am struggling with tiredness all day, despite getting at least 8h of sleep. I am taking vitamin supplements, I drink enough water, my diet is not horrible but not great either, im trying to improve it. I noticed my tiredness 2 weeks ago and ever since I noticed it, I am feeling so tired and sleepy during the day, I yawn a lot and just feel unmotivated to do anything, wishing to have more energy. I do not think it could be sleep apnea because I do not snore and I never woke up unable to breathe. I am 20 years old. For vitamins, I take one supplement that has a, b1, b2, b6, b12, d, e, calcium, iron, another one for d3, and another one that has some of those and magnesium. I am so afraid of bloodwork because I always faint and feel sick. Can you tell me what things I could do? Or what could it be that causes my tiredness?

Get your thyroid profile, cbc, blood sugar fasting checked from some lab. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5.
