Easily tired

[BuggsBird]

Since Xmas day I have been getting tired very easily. I have been working but only for a couple of hours each day. On Xmas day I got a sore stomach and felt a bit sick and have done every day since. I havent vomited, just felt sick and my stomach has been sore on and off. I have found myself falling asleep before 9 every night. Any ideas why I could be feeling like this? Thanks xxxx

If you ate or drank more than usual on Christmas day then it is probable that this is what upset your tummy initially.  Especially if the food was richer than normal.  I know I always feel sickly around Christmas time.

 

As for feeling very tired and falling asleep.  This can happen if you have been working very hard and then suddenly have time to relax.  I think it is a bodies way of repairing itself.  It certainly happens to me at Christmas time and for the first days of my annual holiday.  Don't worry too much, but if it continues after a week or two it might be worthwhile popping down to see your GP.  Meanwhile, don't fight the sleep.  Indulge yourself a little and accept it.  Take yourself up to bed when you are tired and make other people aware that you are not available to do anything.

This could be diabetes.  You get symptons like tiredness and with the amount of sugary food we eat round Christmas this could be what has triggered the symptons to appear.  Get it checked out though, the quicker, the better.

There's a huge range of reasons of why you may feel like this. Perhaps you should perform a thorough medical checkup to make sure you're not down with any disease or disorders.

Could you be pregnant?

Actually now that I look at it, judging by your name you couldn't.
