Q: I always have stomach pains and I'm always tired. I've been to the doctor many times and told there was nothing wrong with me. I'm 23. Is there anything I can take for fatigue or stomachaches?

A: If your doctor has cleared you, our guess is that your symptoms are being caused by stress and lack of sleep. While you'll have to find the stress-reduction technique that calms and soothes you, we recommend two things that can be very effective for stress relief and your overall health—a deep breathing technique, and walking for 30 minutes with a friend at lunchtime every day. And as your nutritional insurance policy, we recommend taking a multivitamin—that'll help guard against deficiencies that could be causing your sluggishness.
