What should I do for Lethargy
I have a issue with overall energy level. I am noticing lack of energy and a lot of sleepiness throughout the day.
I am well rested with around 6-8 hours of undisturbed sleep. Usually from 2 am to 8-10am.
The problem is that I start to feel lethargic in afternoon. Which continues well into evening. A nap can help sometimes but honestly am not tired with any physical or mental activity.
The only other symptoms that I have noticed is headaches once in a while which only go away after sleeping.
Would appreciate guidance.
Thank you.
