I've been feeling really tired for weeks and have been sleeping like 12 hours or more sometimes. I thought it might just be a winter bug going around, but today I got really sick and cant even keep water down. Then this dry cough showed up and I've noticed dark hairs, some long and some short, with different thicknesses. I've been collecting them in a tissue because it's freaking me out and I'm scared this could be something serious. What do you think is going on?

Given your symptoms of lethargy, excessive sleeping, sudden nausea and vomiting, dry cough, and the alarming presence of dark hairs, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention, as these symptoms could be indicative of a serious underlying condition, such as a gastrointestinal issue, hormonal imbalance, or even a psychological disorder

I'm really concerned because I've been feeling really weak and my energy levels just keep dropping day by day. It's like no matter what I do, I can't shake this constant tiredness. Sometimes it even feels like I might be running a fever, but it just comes and goes. I find myself wanting to stay in bed almost all day because I'm always so exhausted. Could these be symptoms of something more serious, or is there something I could try to get my energy back up?
