Recurrent fatigue in this age group should not be ignored. Temporary improvement with medicines suggests the underlying cause is not yet addressed.
I would suggest basic tests ,CBC, iron profile, Vitamin B12, TSH, and blood sugar HbA1c. Based on reports, proper treatment can be started.
It’s better to get her evaluated once instead of taking repeated short term medicines. You can consult me for proper guidance and management.

Repeated fatigue and low energy in a 63-year-old should be properly evaluated rather than only taking temporary medicines. Common causes include anemia, thyroid disorder, diabetes, vitamin B12/Vit D deficiency, low BP, infection, sleep issues, stress, or heart-related problems. Please get basic tests like CBC, sugar, thyroid profile, kidney/liver function, B12, Vitamin D, and BP check.
Next Steps
I would strongly recommend booking a consultation for detailed history, examination, and the right treatment plan. Seek urgent care if she has chest pain, breathlessness, fainting, fever, or severe weakness.

In a 63-year-old patient, energy levels that improve temporarily with medication but drop again within 10 days suggest that the treatment is only addressing the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. Fatigue at this age is rarely due to a single factor and usually involves a combination of nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, or chronic age-related conditions that require a long-term management plan rather than short-term fixes
