Energy Posting Medicines

By: Maged Taman

Not feeling well, the correct treatment is to find what is wrong and get the right treatment. For low energy and easy fatigue see under the topic Treating Deficiencies Doctors as well go systemically organ by organ to find the cause of fatigue. Most of the times between examination and common blood work they able to find many of the causes of the fatigue. Chronic fatigue syndrome is also treated differently Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Treatments and drugs

Many times no good reasons and the most common causes of fatigue are sleep deprivation, deconditioning or depression. Old age as a cause of fatigue is commonly multi factorial. Chronic arthritis cause deconditioning and the latter cause fatigue. The vicious cycle of deconditioning and fatigue sometimes can be broken by controlling arthritis and other causes of pain and graded exercises. Pulse oxymetry to check oxygen level commonly as part of cardiac stress test help to role out pulmonary cause as well cardiac cause with stress test. ECHO may be particularly helpful if patient has cardiac murmur or signs of congestive heart failure. An old inactive person who is limited anyway by arthritis or similar condition with no overt cardiac or pulmonary disease and no change of level of fatigue stress test may not be warranted. Treating risk factors for coronary artery disease is continued in elderly as in younger patients.

For many patients where no cause can be found for fatigue particularly those younger patients with weight gain a trial of the following supplements may help:
1- vitamin B12 to aim B12 level over 800 range, commonly sublingual Vit B12 500 microgram daily.
2- Tonalin CLA (fatty acid) 2000 mg 2 tab BID, helps to burn fat.
3- Quercetin 500 mg QAM. Quercetin (flavonoid)
4- Coenzyme q10 400 mg po daily on AM.
5- Liquid L-Carnitine (amino acid) is an easy way to receive the recommended dose of L-Carnitine quickly. Supplement with 3 to 5 grams of L-Carnitine 20 to 30 minutes before cardio. Use of L-Carnitine continuously for 6 weeks and then take 4 weeks off of L-Carnitine.
