Fatigue in heart disease occurs when the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's demands.

Valarie, Is it possible that any medications you are taking for this are the cause of your tiredness? Are you able to do any exercise, often just a little exercise can help make you feel better. I would discuss this with my doctor for an answer that reflects your specific situation. Hugs🤗
