Fatigue and Excessive Sleepiness — Which Doctor Should I See?

Common causes include sleep disorders, anemia, thyroid problems, depression, chronic illness, medication side effects, poor sleep quality, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Consult your doctor for proper evaluation.

Seek medical attention if fatigue lasts more than 2-3 weeks, interferes with daily activities, accompanies other symptoms, worsens over time, or occurs after lifestyle changes. Sudden onset also warrants evaluation.

Maintain regular sleep schedules, exercise moderately, eat balanced meals, limit caffeine and alcohol, manage stress, stay hydrated, and prioritize rest. Avoid driving if excessively sleepy. Keep a symptom diary.
