I feel so tired and it can happen any moment to me, Its like I am sitting feeling okay and then just fall asleep to wake up 15 minutes later and feel better..and then an hour or so later the same thing is happening again.
Do you eat enough healthy carbs? Every cell in your body runs on glucose and if you don't get enough carbs to provide enough glucose to your cells you will feel tired, unconcentrated and exhausted. If you are not supplying your body with enough carb calories, your body will start to lack glucose, and a lack of glucose will mean not enough fuel for your brain. When that happens you may feel dizzy or get headaches. The cure in this situation is to carb up. Give your body all the fuel it needs and you'll thrive. I speak about healthy carbs, like lots of fruits, rice, potatoes, quinoa, sweet potatoes etc. and not cookies made from refined sugar, dairy and fat.
I started feeling weak and lethargic yesterday so I made a banana toasted sandwich on gluten free bread with some maple syrup. I felt better after I ate almost immediately so don't know if it was the food per say or the maple syrup, maybe I needed a sugar boost

Maybe have a browse through this and see if anything jumps out.
Hows your iron? I find often I get tired, short of breath and I know I need an iron boost but ive always had low iron readings. On the flip side you don't want to take too much iron either if you have enough.
They check B12 too if you present with tiredness from memory when you get bloods done. With that said go with your gut too, if you've just introduced something and don't feel right then stop it.
