What could be the cause of my chronic fatigue?
I'm 21. Since I was 15, I have been experiencing symptoms such as: tiredness, sleepiness, muscle weakness, tossing during sleep, difficulty waking and getting out of bed, difficulty concentrating, morning tension headaches, stuffy nose with being more severe in the morning, dry lips, and dry mouth and lips when playing sports.
I have had cold intolerance since maybe age 8 (I love taking long hot showers and hate coming out of the shower), high blood pressure since maybe 19, and a heart murmur since I was born (doctors said it was normal).
My lab results:
Nov. 15, 2011
THS: 4.36
T4: 8.33
Cholesterol: 136
Albunin/Globulin ratio: 1.61
HDL: 32.8
Dec. 28, 2011
TSH: 1.65
T4: 9.17
Total T3: 1.06
Albunin/Globulin ratio: 2.04
March 1, 2012
TSH: 2.97
T4: 7.99
Total T3: 0.76
Electrocardiogram (2007): Doc said normal.
Echocardigram (Nov 2011): Doc said normal.
Now the doctor has now referred me to Cardiovascular Disease.
Also, this doctor that I have now all she did was checked my heart with a stethoscope during the 5 visits. That's all she did to my body and nothing more.

Do you exercise regularly? I can't give you a reference but I remember reading a study that collected about 300 people complaining of fatigue, depression and/or difficulty concentrating but have not received a formal diagnosis from a doctor, and the study made these people exercise for 20 minutes a day for 6 weeks and the results were that about 73% no longer had their symptoms (It was more than 60% but less than 80%, I can't remember).
The moral of this story is that lack of exercise can cause fatigue, depression, and concentration issues. This has been proven through many studies on exercise.
Switching to a healthy diet has similar results, but a healthy diet with no exercise is nowhere near as effective as exercise or better yet, a combination of both.
