Question: What causes extreme fatigue? (& other symptoms such as weight loss)?

I'm almost 18 years old and recently I've been suffering from extreme fatigue. I will sleep anywhere from 8 to 12 hours and I wake up absolutely exhausted. I can't stay awake in my classes and I'm always yawning. I have to nap in the middle of the day so I can function. Its not mono, so I'm not sure what else causes this type of sleep deprivation. My weight has been changing a lot too. I've done nothing differently in my eating and I don't typically exercise. Yet since this winter my weight keeps changing from 160 to less then 150. Its changes a lot. Should I be concerned? i've also been extremely dehydrated although i drink plenty of water

Hello. I would suggest going to the doctor, and having some blood work done. Thyroid problems can cause extreme fatigue, and weight gain or loss. Other things can cause these issues also. It would be best to get a check up. Good luck :-)
