Hello,
I am feeling extreem tiredness since last few months. I am at my 37 of age
My hemoglobin is 11, weight is 67 height is 5"5
Can anyone tell me about the cause fro this?

Did your gp discuss your hemoglobin level? Have you had any recent illnesses? Any major changes in your life? Are you sleeping well? Do you have a healthy diet? Do you get regular exercise? Do you have heavy periods? What's your stress level like? Any health concerns, such as diabetes?

First step would be to look at how you are taking care of yourself as that can play a tremendous role in energy level and how you feel.

A common reason for women to feel tired is simply trying to do it all and getting run down. It is important to make sure your needs are properly taken care of.

Another common reason is being anemic... of which there are severe sorts. May be due to lack of certain vitamins or minerals in your diet, but often it can be due to your body just not absorbing them well. You may want to ask your gp about this possibility.

Hemoglobin is just below the norm and with heavy periods women are more prone to becoming anemic. Sometimes making sure you are getting enough iron and B12 in your diet can be helpful. Other times your doctor may suggest a supplement. It could be you are low in some, it could be your body is not absorbing some as it should. I'd ask your doctor about the possibility of that being a cause and see what they suggest.
I'd also see what changes you can make to get better sleep. Long term stress and poor sleep will certainly catch up and cause you to feel more tired... and it will weaken your immune system. Job changes are not always possible, but finding ways to deal with the stress are. Regular daily exercise can be helpful in dealing with stress and you may find it helps you start to sleep better. It doesn't have to be anything overly strenuous, walking is great, but try to do so earlier in the day or afternoon, not soon before you are going to bed. Some people find meditation works well for them too. Make time to spend with family and friends, make sure you are including some fun and quiet time in your life.
