Lethargic means lack of energy. It means you don’t feel like doing anything, but not necessarily that you’re tired.
Sleepy just means you feel like sleeping. Drowsy is usually being sleepy due to the effect of a drug. I would say it could also be a stronger word for “sleepy”, as in the patient is very close to already being asleep, whereas “sleepy” could be quite mild
