First you should go for a blood test, if there is some deficiencies then only you should go for supplements. Low levels of calcium can cause extreme fatigue, which involves a lack of energy and an overall feeling of sluggishness. It can also lead to insomnia. Fatigue associated with a calcium deficiency can also involve lightheadedness, dizziness, and brain fog — characterized by a lack of focus, forgetfulness, and confusion. If she has those symptoms then definitely you should go for the blood test then the medicine.
