last few weeks I have been feeling really tired. My lenght

Resolved Question:

last few weeks I have been feeling really tired. My lenght of sleep has increased too. I'm usually a morning person but now I cant make myself get out of bed. Right now I feel exhausted and have been experiencing sweaty palms and my heart rate is skipping around a little. I have heart block and have a pacemaker, but have been experiencing some irregular beats in the last several months. dont know if these things are connected or not. any ideas of causes on the recent onset of fatigue?

Hello
it is my pleasure to help you feeling fatigue can be from multiple causes like anemia,diabetes,thyroid dysfunction heart problems and the list goes on

However in your case it is very important to rule out cardiac causes with the arrhythmia history I would recommend doing another EKG to check if there is another kind of arrhythmia that may have developed beside the heart block which can cause that

Also I would suggest talking to your dr for ordering thyroid function panel as it may explain the rapid heart beat and palm sweating and a complete blood count to rule out anemia which again can present with fatigue and rapid heart rate

along with basic metabolic panel and liver function test to check for electrolyte imbalance kidney function and liver function

 

if you have any questions let me know

Hope you get better soon

if you are satisfied your positive rating is very important to me if i was able to help you
