Hello Doctor,
I am worried about my health. I am always tired and sleepy, always hungry, and I can't focus or concentrate on anything. I cry over small things and have body pains. What could be wrong with me? Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Firstly, I would recommend getting your blood sugar levels checked. Persistent tiredness and hunger can sometimes be a sign of diabetes or other blood sugar-related issues.
Secondly, I would suggest having your thyroid function tested. The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. If both your blood sugar and thyroid function tests come back normal, the next step would be to consider a psychological evaluationA psychologist or psychiatrist can conduct a thorough assessment to determine if a mental health condition is contributing to your symptoms. Additionally, a consultation with a family medicine specialist could be beneficial. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation and coordinate any necessary tests or referrals to other specialists.
Thanks
