Fatigue is a common side effect as @bruto1 @dandl48 @mrbill @semeon @kujhawk1978 @waynen and others can attest to.

Jim, do you find that physical activity (even low level activity) helps improve the fatigue and hot flashes?

I have a routine exercise program that included aerobics and weights. I also go to cardiac rehabilitation twice a week for stent placement at the end of June. I live on a 7 acre wooded property so I frequently spend a few fours every week splitting logs or picking up branches and burning brush pills.

I haven’t been able to associate the fatigue with anything but when I get it I feel like a zombie. When I talk to someone they look at me like there is something wrong. The hot flashes are associated with eating, getting too warm and stress.
