There are many reasons why you might feel fatigued and lethargic most of the time. It may be due to low carbohydrate or protein intake. I can also be due to deficiency of vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, vitamin D, and iron deficiency.
-Vitamin B12 is important for energy production and nerve function. Low levels of this can lead to tiredness and weakness.
-Vitamin D deficiency is very common. It affects bone health and can also make you feel tired and fatigued.
-Deficiency of Iron is very common amongst women. Iron helps to carry oxygen in the blood. Low iron or anemia is a major reason many women feel constantly drained.
-A supplement may be needed but before starting any supplement, it is always recommended to get a blood test done to know if there is a deficiency and then treat it with the right dosage under a doctor’s guidance.
-To get essential nutrients, eat a balanced diet with green leafy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and dairy. Try to get 30 minutes of sunlight every day.

Better to discuss it either telephonically or physical visit. Fatigue is just a symptom. There are several reasons behind it. Likewise high stress level/ vital deficiencies/ disturb lifestyle/ excessive work pressure. Without knowing the reason it will not be feasible to give you the best revert
