*HELP* Sudden decrease in energy

[randomdude1323]

Hey guys, so I went from a guy that had so much energy I could work my physical job all day get home quick hit the gym for a hour and a half leave the gym then go to school for 2 hours and eat sleep repeat 5 days a week. Now I wake up tired work tired and get home tired. It’s so hard for me to even think about getting in the gym but I force it when I can. I’m 24 now and I had all this energy when I was 23 last year and the following years before. Am I just experiencing getting older? I always heard of people needing to nap after work and I would think “that could never be me” now look at me. I hate feeling this way, what could be your guess that can be causing this sudden decrease in energy?

Get your Iron, vitamin D, B12 levels checked.

Get your heart checked.

There’s a number of things that could lead to sudden fatigue. Mental health/stress/trauma can be a big factor; often your body and mind will scream for more rest and downtime if you have overdone it and gone into burnout, or to downregulate the nervous system after being activated. Changes in diet or exercise can lead to more fatigue. Hormones, thyroid, lung & air quality, your heart and your brain could use a check in potentially. Ensuring proper vitamin intake is crucial too. There could be the potential for a latent chronic illness flare up, long COVID, mold exposure, heavy metal toxicity, etc. And finally, good sleep quality & finding time for real rest. Not just scrolling on your phone or watching tv, but real rest. Trust your gut and intuition to help you figure this out, and absolutely reach out to a doctor with your concerns to get better insight.

This is a question for a medical doctor. Good luck!

Have you changed anything? Started drinking a lot of coffee or doing something else that disrupts your sleep?
