Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, or lack of energy. It's a common symptom that can have many causes.
There are two main types of fatigue:
Fatigue causes range from lifestyle factors like lack of sleep, stress, boredom, or poor diet; to illnesses like anemia, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS); and side effects of medications.
Symptoms of fatigue include lack of motivation, sleepiness, muscle weakness, slowed thinking, reduced performance, and mood changes like irritation and apathy.
Managing fatigue involves identifying and addressing the underlying cause whenever possible, as well as adopting good sleep hygiene practices, staying active, reducing stress, and eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Moderate exercise can boost energy levels in the long run.
