Tiredness

Today, due to the hustle and bustle of city life and the addition of mental factors to physical factors, "TirednessWe hear the word "" more often and find it included in our lives, even if unintentionally. In this case, every time we feel tired, is there a medical disease underlying it? Is there a need to be suspicious or afraid of the list of diseases that need to be examined and whose results can progress to malignant diseases? This distinction must be made carefully. Undoubtedly, fatigue is a completely normal physiological state after a busy and fast-paced day that we encounter in daily life.
Getting tired is an evolutionary and vital feedback mechanism that every person feels after a physical or mental activity, as a result and symptom of the energy expended, and is a very natural one, telling us that it is time to rest and renew. Therefore, not every fatigue is a symptom of a disease. I think the most important thing to understand in this regard is understanding which fatigue falls into the category of physiological fatigue and which does not, and which needs to be examined.
We can roughly describe medically important fatigue as follows:
It is worth investigating whether there is a disease that may cause this condition, where the person cannot find enough energy to do a job even on days when he does not engage in intense physical or mental activity, wakes up feeling tired in the morning, and feels depleted of all his energy by noon, even though he sleeps regularly and adequately. It is a fatigue.
Reasons:
There are many medical causes of chronic fatigue. These reasons may vary depending on the person's age group. For example, while reasons such as work stress, anemia, depression or low blood pressure are more common in young people, diabetes, kidney, heart and liver problems are among the reasons that should be examined among the causes of fatigue and should not be overlooked in older people. Apart from this, some reasons that trigger chronic fatigue are as follows:
- Diabetes and insulin resistance

- Hypothyroidism
- Adrenal gland problems
- Mineral and vitamin deficiencies: Vitamin D, B12 deficiency, iron deficiency
- Anemia (Anemia)
- Viral diseases such as HIV and EBV

Symptoms of chronic fatigue are as follows:
- Concentration disorder
- Forgetfulness
- Non-restful sleep disorders
- loss of energy
- Negative attitudes towards self, work and life, restlessness
- a depressed mood
- Decline in daily activities
- Malaise, worsening after even the slightest physical or mental exercise
- Don't wake up tired from sleep
