Why do I always feel tired?

[AdelV]

I constantly feel tired.

Sore eyes, heavy eye
Feels like I'm always frowning
Strength at gym is fine tho

I feel like I sleep alright
My diet isn't very diverse, but ok
Dehydration? I drink 2L water a day(1L just at gym)

I take a PWO 4 x a week
Maybe a coffee on other days

Its confusing.

Thinking of going to Drs, running some blood work. What should I ask to be tested?

Thanks

Its not a bad idea to go to the Dr to get some metabolic bloods done. It would probably be worthwhile to look at testosterone levels, as well as thyroid hormone.

If the feeling is mostly in your eyes it could be a chronic dry eye. I have dry eye and it does often create a very tired feeling

What's your caloric intake? When my when my caloric intake goes too low I've had these issues. It's hard to say, many possibilities ranging from nutritional deficiencies to hormonal imbalances

There's nothing wrong if you will consult a doctor to further analyze the situation. I hope you get well soon.

My strength at gym is very good, I doubt I have low testosterone levels.

I bought eye drops actually, and Im too scared to drop anything in my eyes ?

Saying that, it's not just dry eyes but tired eyes. I never use to be tired during the day, and I'm not over working atm.

Probably very low, I actually don't eat much and because I switched shifts I'm eating even less I think. Today was high, but generally I think I under-eat for my size.

I think I will just get full bloods, it should be free under my private health. Always good to do a chick up, haven't done anything like that in 10 years.

Oh man, those eye drops feel soo good in tired feeling eyes. Give it a shot, maybe it will help. If not, maybe the doctor could help figure out what's going on. Blood results tell no lies

Do you eat lots of white bread? I used to be tired a lot and didn't know why until I switched to whole meal. Just throwing it out there as something in your diet could be the cause.

It could be a number of things. Going to the doctor is a good idea. I had similar issues and ended up having low iron. Hopefully it’s something simple. It could be your diet as others have suggested

Seeing a doc is the smartest option here, yet you could try this: take a break from caffeine (pre-workout/coffee) use carbs as your main source of energy rather than caffeine. Up your calories a notch to recover better, add one more off day to rest. I usually get that kind of tiredness at the middle/end of my cut then I do the above and switching to Dorian Yates' type of workout helps a lot too (he's known for a high intensity + more recovery days). Sleep is a major factor too, ZMA could help for a restful sleep at night.

Wish you all the best.

Happened to me too, went kinda anaemic from consuming too little iron

 

[u_e_s_i]

Do you take a multivit each day? If not, it could help
