Question: "I'm constantly tired. Could this be a symptom of something more serious?"
Answer: First, evaluate your habits. Are you working too much, not getting enough sleep, not eating well or not exercising enough? Saralyn Mark, MD, senior medical advisor in the Office on Women's Health of the Department of Health and Human Services points out, "stress and depression can also make you very tired." Getting at least eight hours of quality sleep a night, eating healthfully, and trying to exercise for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week most likely will help people who suffer from chronic fatigue.
