- Vitamin deficiency.
If your diet is balanced, there is no need to buy vitamin complexes that contain half of Mendeleev’s periodic table. Doctors note that chronic fatigue most often is a consequence of lack of individual vitamins. Every day, we encounter stress that gradually weakens our bodies. Therefore, taking vitamins is an integral part of our lives. Each vitamin should be taken individually rather than in a complex, in such way it acts more effectively. Only a doctor can determine the correct dosage, so, first, it is necessary to undergo tests and identify the deficits.
- Allergy.
Contrary to common belief, allergic reactions are not limited to slight runny nose and watery eyes. Quite often, severe rhinitis occurs, leading to oxygen deficiency, affecting all organs and body systems. It’s not just a seasonal issue: many suffer from allergic rhinitis year-round due to animal fur, dust mites, and household chemicals.
- Diabetes.
In this condition, blood sugar levels sharply increase, and glucose, responsible for providing energy literally disappears. As a result, there’s a greater desire to eat but feeling less energetic. Diabetics require more fluids, including at night, which can lead to morning fatigue and lack of energy. Many people are diagnosed with prediabetes (potential diabetes), which also manifests as chronic fatigue.
Like most health issues, diabetes can only be diagnosed by a doctor. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor will provide treatment recommendations, recommend a diet, and schedule regular tests. Prediabetic conditions can be managed through preventive measures such as: exercises, lifestyle changes, and proper nutrition.
- Intestine malfunction.
The intestines contain many immune cells, so their proper functioning directly affects health and well-being. “Beneficial” bacteria, involved in many internal processes, also reside in the lower digestive tract. If the intestines cannot fully absorb necessary substances, it affects the body overall. Approximately 1% of people worldwide are diagnosed with celiac disease – gluten intolerance found in wheat and some grains. It impairs nutrient absorption and contributes to fatigue.
- Thyroid gland issues.
Increased fatigue and lack of energy throughout the day are clear symptoms of thyroid gland dysfunction. To confirm hypothyroidism, hormonal tests are necessary. Your family doctor may order initial testing of thyroid function (TSH levels in the blood). If the result shows deviation from the norm (above the upper limit of normal), it is necessary to measure the concentration of thyroxine (FT4). Primary hypothyroidism (associated with thyroid gland disease, not pituitary disease) is diagnosed when elevated TSH levels are accompanied by decreased FT4 levels.
- Dietary habits.
Disrupted eating patterns directly impact the entire human body. Poor diet and irregular eating habits exhaust the body. As a result, there is a deficiency of vitamins leading to disruption of body functions. As a result, chronic fatigue is visible. It is important to ensure that your diet is diverse and nutritious. It is, also recommended to take medications (Modalert, Artvigil) that will help overcome chronic fatigue.
