What is Fatigue, Chronic Fatigue versus Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Fatigue, or chronic fatigue, is more than a passing feeling of lethargy. Your body experiences deep and constant fatigue. Chronic fatigue has some debilitating effects, such as an inability to focus, mood swings, weariness and anxiety. It is usually a symptom of some greater medical condition, such as insomnia, a nutritional deficiency, being overworked, or many other factors. Chronic Fatigue is different from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has to do with your immune system and your body's inability to maintain energy levels adequate for top function.
Symptoms of Fatigue
Consistent weariness
Anger, impatience, depression, or other mood/personality changes
Anxiety
Inability to concentrate or focus on daily tasks
Loss of interest or change in attitude
Causes of Fatigue
Blood tests can quickly rule out whole blocks of fatigue-causing problems, such as diseases related to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and blood. When fatigue is not linked to any major problems, it is most likely due to:
Poor sleeping habits
Inadequate nutrition with vitamin deficiencies
Hormonal fluctuations of PMS
Chronic anxiety or depression
Subtle side effects of medications
Prevention and Treatment of Fatigue
Chronic fatigue can be a sign you need to address a greater health problem. Once you have ruled out any major diseases as the reason for fatigue, a way to treat fatigue is with lifestyle modifications.
To alleviate or treat fatigue:
Follow a proper diet
Get adequate sleep
Manage stress
Exercise
To prevent chronicfatigue:
Avoid stress-inducing situations
Pay attention to early signs of weariness and exhaustion
