Fatigue is not just the feeling of being tired. Extended periods of exhaustion and lack of energy caused by severe fatigue can have a significant impact on your mental and physical health, so it is important to receive treatment if you have been experiencing fatigue for an extended period of time.
What is Fatigue?
Fatigue is a more serious condition than sleepiness or feeling tired; it also involves a lack of focus and energy, which can make it difficult to perform daily tasks.
Common Symptoms of Fatigue
Some of the most common symptoms of fatigue include extreme tiredness, reduced energy levels, brain fog, muscle weakness, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances and difficulty falling asleep, and mood swings. Change in appetite, headaches, joint pain, and irritability are also symptoms you may notice if you’re struggling with fatigue.
Causes of Fatigue
Common causes of fatigue involve lifestyle factors such as a lack of physical activity or sleep, poor diet, stress, alcohol or drug use, and consuming too much caffeine. Other physical illness conditions can also cause fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome, such as anemia/iron deficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, diabetes, thyroid disorders, sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea, cardiovascular diseases (like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and high blood pressure), liver diseases, autoimmune diseases, and more.
