What is fatigue?
One of the most common questions we get on the K Health app is, why am I so tired? In my case, that’s because of the two young children who keep me up at night. In your case, there are various different things to consider.
One of the first things to consider is your lifestyle. This includes things like:
How many hours of sleep are you getting?
Is your sleep of good quality?
What is your diet like?
What are your exercise habits?
Oftentimes, making adjustments there will have a big impact on your level of energy.
We also want to think about some medical problems that could cause you to be fatigued. For instance, chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia are some disorders associated with fatigue as one of the primary complaints. Other medical problems that can cause fatigue include things like sleep apnea. With that, you may get a lot of hours of sleep but the quality of sleep is quite low. Anemia, or low blood counts, can also cause you to be fatigued. There are various hormone problems, for instance, low levels of thyroid function, which would also result in fatigue as one of the main symptoms. Of course, we can’t forget about mood disorders. Problems like depression or anxiety can have fatigue as one of the primary symptoms.
How can I treat fatigue?
If you have fatigue, it’s very important to talk to your doctor. That’s because it might be worthwhile to look for some of those medical problems that are associated with fatigue. If you have one of those problems, the treatments will be significantly impacted depending on which problem it is.
If you don’t have any of those underlying problems, there are some basic tips you can follow. Number one: focus on good sleep quality. That means don’t bring your iPhone to bed, don’t watch TV in bed, and try to get 7-8 hours of undisturbed sleep each night.
If you’re feeling tired all the time and want to know what are the causes of your symptoms, download the K Health app. There you can complete a health dialogue and learn how people like you were diagnosed and treated. It might show you something you didn’t know, for instance low blood count or depressed mood. You can also chat with one of our doctors directly through the app.
