Medication and alcohol and tiredness
The two causes people forget to count as causes.
A long list of common medicines has tiredness as a side effect — beta-blockers, antihistamines, some antidepressants, some blood-pressure drugs — and it can start when the dose changes. Alcohol is a sedative that fragments the second half of the night: even two drinks measurably reduce deep sleep, and regular evening drinking leaves people tired without ever feeling drunk.
The check is a medication list review with a pharmacist or doctor, and an honest alcohol count — including the "just one or two most evenings" pattern. A two-week alcohol break is the cheapest diagnostic test there is.
Vérifier d’abord
Review the medicine list; try two weeks without evening alcohol.
Référence, pas un avis médical. Si la fatigue est progressive, inexpliquée, ou s’accompagne de perte de poids, fièvres, sueurs nocturnes ou essoufflement, voyez un clinicien. Rien ici ne diagnostique.
