What causes low energy levels?

Question:

At first I thought a perscription I was taking was causing me to be tired all the time (even when I do nothing at all) but I've since quit taking the medicine (after the doctor approved doing so) and I'm still tired all the time. What could be the reason why?

Answers:
Check your diet. There are high energy foods and low energy foods. Get some info from a nutritionist or check the internet. Also make sure you are sleeping like you should. Sleep apnea is common (breathing stops during sleep) and could be the reason you are constantly tired. Have a friend sit with you to see if you stop breathing while sleeping. Do you snore (another symptom of sleep apnea)?

Other Answers:
Iron deficiency. Iron is necessary for the blood to carry oxygen to different parts of the body. Lack of it makes the muscles very tired.

Ask your doctor to check your thyroid function. This can be done with a simple blood test. Another thought that comes to mind is chronic fatigue syndrome, mono, or other viral illnesses. Talk to your doctor. Low energy can be caused by a few different things. Things such as, Bad sleep patterns or not enough steady sleep, or wrong diet, depression,stress, ect. things that cause low energy can be fixed if you can figure out which of these things are happening.
