Some of the common causes of tiredness include low haemoglobin level, pregnancy, malaria, diabetes and High Blood Pressure. For these reasons, it is very important for you to check your vital signs such as Body temperature, Blood Pressure and heart rate among others. In addition, you should undertake some blood tests to confirm your Haemoglobin level, HIV status as well as the presence of Malaria parasites. Once all the above have been found to be normal, you will need to rule out the possibilities or otherwise of depression.
