Hi Alla bit of background about myself. I am 33 years old and work in finance industry. I am overweight but not obese. I have been battling with fatigue, stress and sleep problems for years now. I got it checked around 10 years back and got sinoplasty done. I was then diagonosed with sleep apnea and put on Sleep apnea respirator. After a couple of years, I moved to HK, got another sleep study done and was told that teh sleep apnea has not subsided. I have it but within the upper end of a range considered Normal. I have this constant fitigue especially in the morning. No matter if I wake up after sleeping for 6 hours or 9 hours, I never wake up feeling fresh. Then there is constant pain in my forehead, neck and shoulders and the muscles are very tense. btw I do fele stressed due to work and other things in life but I dont think I am depressed. These symptoms relive when I am with my family, friends, when I dine out etc.Now I have seen normal doctors before but I want to try someone who really specializes in chronic fatigue, stress and other body ailments. I was searching on google and came across IMI and these doctors below who seem to specialize in fatigue related ailments (they seem to be homoepathic) . Please can you let me know if you have experience or have heard about any of them. Also if you know if any other doctor you think i svery good, please let me know.Dr. Adam Friedman (ND)Dr. Benita Perch (ND)Angie Tourani - Adv Bodytalk PractitionerDr. Ardyce Yik (ND) - Registered Naturopathic DoctorTej BG - Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist & Medical HerbalistThanks a lot!

It sounds like one of two things:1. being overweight can have a significant impact on sleep quality2. Depression / anxiety. Or possibly a mixture of both.I would first go to a doctor to discuss with them; then a councillor 3 - 4 times; review your diet to ensure you are eating healthily, and not over eating; and then make sure you exercise - light running is good.When you go to the doctor resist them putting you on antidepresants / anti anxiety tablets. They are very difficult to get off. If you can take some time off work to focus on this. If not then no problem... just do what I say above.I am not a medical specialist, but have been through this, and no many people who have.Another thing - don't feel you are strange. It is VERY very common.you can contact St Johns counselling Servicewww.sjcshk.com
