Understanding The Cause Of Your
Fatigue
Almost everyone experiences an occasional feeling of fatigue, young people as well as older people. Fatigue is generally defined as a feeling of exhaustion, a lack of energy or just plain tiredness. Sometimes mild fatigue will occur when a minor illness such as a cold or flu is present. This fatigue will go away after the symptoms of the cold or flu are gone.
Fatigue is not exactly the same as feeling drowsy, but most people will have the urge to sleep when they are fatigue. The key is knowing what is causing the fatigue and whether it is serious enough to discuss it with your doctor.
Common Causes Of Fatigue
Fatigue can be caused by many different things. The most common causes of fatigue are usually classified as either physical or emotional. Common physical causes of fatigue Include: lack of exercise, skipping meals, extreme physical activity, lack of sleep and trauma. Common emotional causes of fatigue Include: Stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, grief and fear.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrom
Continued severe tiredness or weariness is known as chronic fatigue. This condition is usually not relieved by resting and may be severe enough to hinder your ability to participate in ordinary activities. Unlike ordinary fatigue that will go away after a while, if you have chronic fatigue, you should discuss this condition with your doctor.
Treating Chronic Fatigue
After evaluating your symptoms and condition, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following treatments:
- prescription medication
- nutritional supplements
- cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- change in diet
- change in lifestyle
- graded exercise therapy (GET)
Because of the hectic lifestyle that many of us have today, ordinary fatigue is a very common condition and can usually be treated with a little extra rest and adjustment in schedule. However if you find yourself fatigue more often than usual or if you find that you are fatigue for no apparent reason, you should see your doctor. Fatigue is a treatable condition that should not be allowed to hinder your lifestyle or day to day activities. So don’t settle for anything less than being active and feeling alert and healthy.
