I am generally a healthy person, but for the last month or so i have been feeling SO TIRED. It happens at about 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon and I literally CANNOT walk or get up and my eyes won't stay open and I have to sleep or I feel like I'm going to die!! I usually can't even get up the stairs, and I crash on the couch. I am fine all morning and after my nap and I get 8+ hours of sleep and don't really stay up late...
What's wrong and what can I do?
Blood pressure....too low
Fatigue can be caused by many things; most of them are not serious, but some are.
You should see a doctor soon.
time for a check up, could be mono, hypoglycemia etc, with out some blood tests and such you have not idea what it could be.

Do you get really drunk early in the morning? Because that could cause it
you may be anemic or have hypothyroid. Your doc can check with a simple blood test.
gosh then i wish i had epilepsy so i could get to sleep
To be tired is to be lacking in strength and energy. Being tired is the familiar aftermath of physical exertion, prolonged labor or lack of sleep. When does being tired become a symptom of a condition? Fatigue, malaise, lassitude, exhaustion are all subtle variations of the same subjective feelings of not having enough energy to meet the demands of one’s life. If one is chronically tired (more than two weeks) and unable to meet one’s obligations, it is time to seek professional help. Your doctor will know the right questions to ask, proper examination and tests to determine if there is an underlying serious cause (such as diabetes) of your condition.
Sometimes a simple lifestyle adjustment is all that is needed –
Getting more sleep, working less. Perhaps a change in sleep pattern will help. If you are waking up in the middle of the night worrying – middle insomnia- try staying up later. Go to bed really tired to make sure you sleep through the night.
If you are a menstruating woman, there is a chance that you are anemic. Consult your provider about taking the appropriate blood tests to determine if you are anemic. Talk to your doctor about taking over-the-counter iron supplements along with a multi-vitamin with folate.
Eat a healthy, vitamin rich diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.
Drink plenty of liquids throughout the day to avoid dehydration
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements may be a good supplement to add to your diet – discuss it with your primary care provider.
Get regular exercise to promote sleep and decrease stress.
Take stock of your relationships – reach out to people who make you laugh and feel good about yourself. Weed out the relationships that drain your energy and resources.
Assess your job – is there a work-related cause for being tired? When was your last vacation? Do you need some time need to regroup!
Assess your intake of alcohol or other recreational drugs. Try meditation to relax instead!
Drink caffeine in the morning only. If you drink it all day long, it will actually deplete your energy and keep you up at night!

I felt that way when I got pregnant and then after I delivered...
But if it's not some real medical condition like pregnancy or mono or a thyroid problem, try eating lots of fruit and healthy foods, bananas are great. And try to exercise.
You might have a slight case of epilepsy, which is where you just fall asleep and cant help it.
Or you could be really fatigued.
What kind of activities do you do?
Do you eat right?
Are you working too much, or have been really stressed out lately?
You could have fatigue, where youre body is just giving up on you trying so hard to keep up with your lifestyle.
hmm.;;;
hope I could help.=]
maybe you are lacking in doing some types of exercise.
and your hormones specially ur melatonin that acts as our sleeping pills in our body do not function well and so with your aldosterone that controls your blood pressure..
you should consult your doctor..

First off, you're not pregnant are you? i found that i had a bunch of food allergies that were making me tired everytime i ate. Keep track of what you eat and see if eating one thing or another makes you feel any different. Try to go a week w/o eating sugar (except for fruits) and try to stay away from starchy foods. sometimes this is an allergy that you don't even realize you have that affects you in the exact way you've described. Especially having Wheat in your diet. I know they say it's good for you but it's the worst thing i could give my body. Give it a try
