Lethargy Treatment in India

Aditya Singh, a 58-year-old senior accountant, had always been the energetic backbone of his family and firm. Over the past six months, a profound and unshakable fatigue settled over him. He struggled to get through his workday, his morning walks became a chore, and he lost all interest in his weekly cricket matches. His primary care physician, after ruling out common causes like anemia and thyroid issues, referred him to an Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Kapoor. Dr. Kapoor, suspecting a deeper systemic issue like a chronic infection, autoimmune disorder, or early metabolic disease, recommended a comprehensive 'lethargy workup'. This involved detailed blood panels (for hormones, vitamins, inflammatory markers), a sleep study, and cardiac screening. Aditya felt anxious and frustrated, fearing a serious diagnosis like cancer. The process was lengthy but thorough. The results revealed severe Vitamin D and B12 deficiencies, likely due to his sedentary indoor lifestyle and poor diet. After starting supplements and making dietary changes, Aditya's energy slowly returned over 8 weeks. The emotional relief was immense; he moved from fear of a life-altering illness to empowerment, realizing his health was in his hands. He's now back on his morning walks, feeling more like himself.
