Hi Lucy,

Have you seen a doctor to check out any physical causes for your exhaustion?

No-one here is medically qualified, and exhaustion is a generalized condition that could have so many causes.

That said, are you getting enough high quality sleep?

I did once,then they notice that blood pressure was low and i was given some medication. for a while i was feeling much better, but the issue is that ,i easily get tired and most food I eat does not stay down,so am thinking of changing diet completely

Hi Lucy,

Maybe you should try speaking to a doctor again? That may sound unhelpful but I have chronic fatigue syndrome and it took 6months of pestering doctors before I got the support I really needed! There are endless possibilities that could be making you feel so exhausted and changing your diet or finding a way to keep food down and give you more energy will definitely help but there may be underlying causes.

Hi Lucy,

Please, please go and see a doctor again and tell them what you are telling us.

Diet is important, but just assuming that diet is the main problem in your case means you may be missing some underlying problems.
