TL;DR My personal non-medical professional advice just from reading your post is that either you are suffering from microclots due to a past covid infection. The fatigue you are experiencing can arise even weeks after recovery, it's called LONG COVID. Given that you had it happen for 4 months previously that would have been your first round of long covid. Each successive covid is generally worse and creates more damage.

Importantly, a metabolic panel doesn't check for clotting, and doesn't check the functioning of your thyroid. You might have hyperthyroidism. Do you have lumps in your neck? Regardless a TSH, T3, T4 blood test can't hurt. Especially if you feel any of the following, itchy, moody, have trouble sleeping, are thirsty a lot, losing hair, losing weight unexpectedly, shortness of breath, or have a lower libido than normal.

Other differential diagnosis is Fibromyalgia or CFS.

PERSONAL, PRACTICALLY FREE, DIAGNOSTICS DEVICES:
1. Measure your SPO2% (Spatial oxygen) using painless harmless finger clips which are like 20-40$. Very useful gadget to have. If it's under 95% chronically you are likely having issues getting oxygen into your blood. There are many causes of this, carbon monoxide poisoning could cause your heme to not carry oxygen in which case you need methylene blue to treat or it's gonna be a long road as your red blood cells steadily get replaced with functioning hemoglobin.
1.b. Having low SPO2 can also mean your body is fighting an infection which may be chronic since it sounds like this has gone on a while.
1.c. Low SPO2 can also mean your lungs aren't exchanging oxygen into the blood properly. Possibly due to clotting, heart arythmias, or damage from inhaling certain chemicals, and a few other things.

2. Get a blood pressure cuff and check your blood pressure. IF your blood pressure is 20-30+ points lower than it normally is when you go to the doctor's office you will likely feel really dizzy. Also if the systolic/top number is lower than 100 that may be the reason as well. There are MANY potential causes of low blood pressure ranging from severe heart problems, to something as simple as taking too much magnesium. Make sure you get a blood pressure cuff that also checks for arythmias.

3. ECG, you can buy a portable ECG like KardiaMobile realtively cheap and you can spot check your heart signal when you feel off, or you can at least show it to a doctor later for examination. IF you have anything that doesn't look like a "normal sinus rythm" either look it up or show it to a doctor or nurse or two who can read an ECG. Basically if it's all over the place, you probably need to go get a pacemaker or kill the malfunctioning heart cells with targetted microwave energy.


SUPPLEMENT ADVICE:

1. Be careful with Iron supplements, it's easy to do more harm than good unless your blood panel shows low iron. Since your metabolic panel came back clean personally I would avoid taking any extra.

2. A lot of the research I have seen has found that up to 10,000IU's of vitamin D3 a day is usually a great idea in almost anyone unless you are outdoors in the sun all the time. This will give your immune system the power to fight off infections.
2b. Taking vitamin C and Zinc supplements are a great idea for immune health and fighting infections as previously stated.

3. Being extremely hot is an important sign, but it also matters WHEN you are hot. Are you only hot at night or is it at all times? IF you are hot all the time, it's possible that your circulation is low, meaning your blood pressure is likely low or you are clotting (ESPECIALLY if you have had COVID/been sick somewhat recently.)
3.b. IF you did have covid or got sick before the onset of these fatigue symptoms I recommend taking one 81mg aspirin (baby aspirin) per day to help lower your clotting potential, prevent clots/strokes, and free up your veins. If you have problems with bleeding for whatever reason currently and what not don't do this though. Also this will not cure you either unfortunately but it will help prevent serious damage.
3.c. If it is LONG COVID, Mitochondrial function is impaired often it seems. So even if you have oxygen you can't turn it into ATP/useable energy for your cells. Vitamin K2 seems to help this slightly, but this is dangerous because with LONG COVID you are suffering from clotting; and K2 will thicken your blood/increase clotting which can kill you so definitely take Aspirin with it if it's for that reason to cancel the effect out.


Unfortunately IF it is long covid there is almost nothing that can be done to help, almost every treatment/physical therapy keeps the patient at neutral symptoms or makes the patients worse especially in the case of physical therapy. Also it's of paramount importance that you do NOT get sick while having long covid, doing so can greatly set you back or kill you.

I know this is very hard and heavy stuff to deal with. There are millions out there dealing with the same problems as we speak yet there aren't many people talking about it. Possibly because those millions are just trying to shower and eat/survive and don't have the energy to socialize and tell people their plight. The good news is most people do steadily recover, but it's on a month to month basis to notice the recovery, and it can take years.

We have a habit of self diagnosing where I from, but please go see a doctor if this keeps up. But from what I am seeing it could either be anemia or iron deficiency. both of those make you dizzy, and anemia makes you very tired. But since you actually recovered at one point (and you can recover from those on your own) it makes me preeetty sure of it.

Not a doctor tho, and this habit of brazil is very irresponsible so go se a doctor if ur still sickly // get sickly again

Woah, that sounds concerning. I was gonna say go to the doc immediately, but after reading that you got a full metabolic panel and everything came back normal I changed my mind. During the four months it took for your recovery, what happened exactly? Probably tough to remember, but did you just go about your life as normal and wait for your body to catch itself up? I was doing a little bit of searching, and there are SO many causes of fatigue apparently...https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/fatigue/basics/causes/sym-20050894

So I guess it's not too crazy that the panel didn't pick up anything, but you'd think it would pick up something at least. I think you should go to the doctor though, just to be safe. This seems like it may be a thing that'll continue reoccurring, and if anyone knows how to deal with it, it will be a professional. I hope your condition improves soon. I wish I had some proper advice to give
