Hi
Thanks for reaching out. For how long have you been having chronic fatigue, low energy, poor concentration, and weakness? Chronic fatigue can be caused by stress, anxiety, and insomnia. I suggest you consult a physician and explain about chronic fatigue. You can also get a complete blood count test done to check for nutrient deficiencies.
I suggest you consult a physician and explain about chronic fatigue. Also consult a psychologist for counselling sessions. A psychologist will determine the reasons behind chronic fatigue and help you feel calm and energetic. Try to live in the present and enjoy moments.

Hi,
I understand how frustrating and draining it can feel to deal with constant fatigue, low energy, and poor focus, especially when it’s been going on for a while.
These symptoms can be influenced by several factors like emotional stress, mental exhaustion, nutritional imbalances, irregular sleep, or even a lack of physical nourishment.
Sometimes, your body slows down as a way of signaling deeper needs, whether physical, emotional, or both.
If you’ve been under pressure, skipping meals, sleeping irregularly, or feeling low , consult as this may be your body asking you to slow down and reset.
You will get help in understanding the underlying reason , reflect on possible emotional or lifestyle contributors and support small, manageable changes.
Health Tips
Prioritize regular meals, stay hydrated, get consistent sleep, reduce screen time before bed, and take short mindful breaks during the day to support your energy, focus, and emotional balance.

Sometime extreme stress also one of the reason for chronic fatigue and brain fog as well. You need to check your thyroid level and you need to take complete blood count. Otherwise, it's better to consult a doctor in person. They will tell you exact reason after examining you all the best.

Chronic fatigue, low energy, and poor concentration can be caused by several factors, both physical and mental. You’re right to consider nutrient deficiencies or digestion issues, but a few other causes could also be involved.
Recommended tests though a GP consultation:
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)
2. Thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH)
3. Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels
4. Iron studies (especially ferritin)
5. Blood glucose (fasting/postprandial)
6. Liver and kidney function tests
Other considerations:
• Poor sleep, anxiety, or depression can often present with these symptoms.
• Digestive issues (like IBS or malabsorption) can affect nutrient absorption.
It’s best to consult a general physician first for these tests. Based on the results, you may be referred to a nutritionist, endocrinologist, or a psychologist if it pertains to mental health issues. Take care

Hi,
Experiencing persistent fatigue, low energy, poor concentration, and weakness can be caused by a variety of factors, including nutrient deficiencies (such as iron, vitamin D, or B12), digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, stress, or other underlying health conditions. It's important to undergo a thorough medical evaluation to identify the root cause. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional who may suggest blood tests to check for anemia, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, thyroid function, blood sugar levels, and other relevant investigations. Based on the results, appropriate treatment can be prescribed, which may include nutritional supplements, dietary modifications, or managing any underlying medical conditions. Addressing lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and exercise can also play a vital role in recovery. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are key to improving your energy levels and overall well-being.

Hi
These are also the symptoms of mental exhaustion and stress. Due to stress, we often procrastinate which in turn makes us feel guilty of putting our work behind us n again gives us mental stress.
What is your duration of screen? Are you sleeping well?? Are you eating healthy and on time??
Happy to talk
