Lately, I have been feeling unreasonably tired. I'm only 27, I haven't recently upped my training (I typically do about 3500 yards 4-5 times a week), I'm not sick, I don't feel more stressed than normal -- I just don't know what's going on. I feel fatigued at practice, at work, and especially in the evenings when I get home. Getting extra sleep and extra vegetables hasn't done anything to help so far. Has anyone else been through a time of being really run down for no reason? Did you swim through it since exercise is supposed to give you energy? Did you take a break? (I don't want to take a break if I don't have to because I love swimming and miss it whenever I can't go.) I know there is probably nothing anyone can really do to advise me, but I guess I just wanted to know if it's happened to anyone else. Thanks!

The last time I felt like that, a severe sore throat preceded a diagnosis of mononucleosis. That was hell let me tell you. I doubt that is your problem but if it persists I would not hesitate to see your MD about it. If you are not already getting an annual checkup/physical this might be a good time to start.
