Tiredness - A Basket of Goods (bads?)

Hey Guys,

Just reading Scotts tiredness post and a few things came to mind. Whereas any one of these alone might not make us feel tired, what if some of us have any combination of the following, wouldn't it cause a sheeitey feeling? (no offense to the Shia):

1. Lower heart rate from fitness

2. Borderline low blood pressure

3. Lower carb/ calorie intake

4. Low grade depression

5. Borderline iron levels

For example, I have heard that athletic types,  with naturally low resting heart rates, tend to nod off when sitting in one place too long say in a meeting or lecture (famous pioneer triathlete, Larry Scott for one). So wondering, if a person has spent a lifetime "adapting" to a normal or high heart rate, blood pressure or any other bodily condition... - THEN -  that condition changes over a brief period of a couple years, if that person might experience tiredness, lethargy, etc.?

Then, you combine with any one or more of the above.

Solutions? For me, protein powder is a pickup, as well as 20 minutes of exercise here and there. Then, there's anything in my day that might create nervous energy or adrenaline. In my world, that's classes with picky (but easily charmed) 18-20 year old women. 

Best Wishes,

Dave

Makes much sense. I'm not experiencing low energy drops in my days. I have some of those factors, But they may be off-set by others. My heart rate is about 20 beats per minute slower now, My Blood pressure is lower, Lower Carb/calorie intake- (no more constant flood of blood sugar highs) My Iron tested dead center on the normal range 3 weeks ago And I'm pretty Happy all the time... Ye, a lot of stress and insane deadlines But maybe that's the "surfer's-rush" of my schedule and need to be "Creative on Demand,"  That keeps me sort of Stoked about Life All the time. Interesting idea though, that "In Comparison to Before..." Energy might be lower, even though the need for energy Just to stand and sit and be...Is also much lower. Yes? For me, simply Existing, is just So Much Easier... Best Wishes- Dx
