Fatigue
Fatigue is a feeling of weakness that can range from simple tiredness to total exhaustion. It is among the most common causes of medical doctor visits in the U.S. But fatigue is not a disease in itself, but a symptom. Fatigue can be a symptom of heart disease, infection, depression, anemia, cancer, blood sugar or blood pressure problems, neurological problems, or drug side-effects. Most often, fatigue is related to lack of sleep, or lack of quality sleep due to sleep apnea or another condition.
Fatigue may be accompanied by feelings of dizziness, nausea, or heart palpitations. Some people feel short of breath when they are overtired. If fatigue does not respond to rest, or if it comes on suddenly or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever or pain, seek immediate medical help.
Fatigue can also be caused by nutritional deficiencies. Eating a well-rounded diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins will help resolve many cases of fatigue. B-Complex vitamins and Vitamin C also are known to help energize the body. Supplements that supply trace minerals, such as royal jelly, may be helpful.
Many alternative modalities, such as acupuncture, bodywork, and massage, have been successful in treating fatigue.
