Exhausted 24/7

Does anyone else get completely exhausted all the time? I've never had this before but I'm currently hiding un the toilets at work wondering how I'm going to make it through the day. I've not been well recently (constant colds etc) and I know that's just because all my family and work colleagues have taken it in turns to come down with a nasty flu virus recently (and I'm around them, looking after the kids when they're sick etc) but I cant help stressing that it's something sinister. It's stupid because I saw a doctor yesterday and she said my ears are swollen and red in side and my eardrums are swollen with fluid so I know it must be some sort of ear/sinus infection. She said it can cause extreme fatigue and has given me antibiotics which will hopefully help but I'm still spending all day googling symptoms, thinking about it as soon as I wake up. I'm so tired and all i want to do is go home and take a nap but i know it wont make me feel any better ☹ x

Thanks, I have started taking so e extra vitamins but no change so far. I find the proble is that I'm just as tired when I'm anxious, regardless or how much sleep I'm getting I do find that I have really vivid dreams when anxious then wake up feeling like I've not been asleep at all. I think it's more to do with the quality of sleep I get because according to all the recommendations I'm getting enough ☹ x
