   Your father may have a completely different reason for being tired than you do at 14. At your age, you go through some rapid growth spurts which makes you very tired and this would be normal since you state you exercise frequently. And, in young males, excessive sweating is also normal and as you get older, this will decrease. At this time, I would not suspect you are having any heart problems but are going through a growth spurt and all of your symptoms will resolve on their own. Your father is a different story and there can be other reasons why he may be so tired.

   And, a 100 heart rate is not alarming if you have not been sitting quietly for at least 10-15 minutes before taking your pulse.

   One possibility is an overactive thyroid gland. It can be an inherited genetic problem. Maybe you and your dad could both schedule a doc appointment for a checkup that includes a wellness blood test panel.

   Yes - you should get it checked out. Many possiblities that may be causing your tiring & fast heart beat. You might need a physical exam…. at 14, you should not be having these problems.

   One thing looks fairly certain: you might not have a heart problem. What you got is called ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.’

   What Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

   Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complicated disease for doctors to diagnose — and even fully understand. Although it is a physical condition, CFS also has psychological components.To make it even more complicated, different people with CFS can have different symptoms.

   What Causes It?

   * Anaemia
   * Infections.
   * Problems with the immune system, such as allergies.
   * Emotional stress. Scientists have found that people with CFS sometimes produce fewer stress hormones like cortisol, and this could affect the immune system.

   Who Gets CFS?

   Chronic fatigue syndrome can affect people of all ages and ethnicities, although more girls than guys get CFS. CFS is very rare in kids. A few teens do get CFS, but it’s more likely to happen to people in their forties or fifties. Teens with CFS seem to improve over time much more frequently than do older patients.

   Sometimes different people in the same family get CFS. This may be because the tendency to develop CFS is genetic. Doctors are also pretty sure the disease is not contagious.

   What the doctors do?

   After ruling out physical conditions, doctors will often suggest that a patient meet with a therapist before diagnosing CFS. Why? Because it’s important to have as much information as possible about how the symptoms affect a person’s overall mental health, including memory, personality, ability to concentrate, and overall outlook on life.
