What Trigger Fatigue And Sleepiness, Part 2
Dear Reader,
In part 1 of our series on fighting fatigue, we examined mild fatigue as well as some of the causes of more serious bouts of daytime sleepiness. If you've looked into all these possibilities and are still struggling with fatigue that's unexplained, a trip to your primary health care physician is in order. Feeling utterly exhausted all the time is not normal, and not acceptable. You can find out what's wrong, and how to fight back.
Start by talking with your doctor about your fatigue.
One of the best-known causes
of daytime fatigue is sleep apnea. You might think you're getting the right amount of sleep, but because of the brief stoppages of breathing during the night, you really aren't getting quality sleep at all. For the overweight, taking off some of those pounds will certainly help. If you smoke, quit. Sleeping with a CPAP device to keep airways open at night can also prove helpful, but you should be evaluated and treated before you make any changes on your own.
Another well recognized cause; the leading one for women in fact,
of sleepiness and feelings of fatigue is anemia. Our natural monthly blood loss can bring on a deficiency in essential iron. If blood testing from your doctor identifies this as the reason for you feeling sluggish, you can take iron supplements and add some iron rich foods to your diet. Lean meats, liver, shellfish, beans and enriched cereals are all good choices.
A trip to your doctor to discuss your feelings of fatigue will also help you rule out a surprising
cause of sleepiness, hypothyroidism. The thyroid is a tiny gland that sits at the base of your neck and controls your metabolism. If the gland is underactive, your metabolism runs too slowly and you can feel sluggish while also gaining weight.
Diabetes also presents with bouts of persistent, unexplained fatigue; only a visit to the doctor can diagnose this problem. A blood test can confirm or rule out this condition, and there are a wide variety of treatments available. Sometimes changes in diet and upping your exercise are all that's needed. For other patients, insulin therapy or other medications may be used to help the body process sugar as it should.
The positive here is that if the blood testing confirms a thyroid issue or diabetes, there are things that can be used to get you back on track.
For women, an
undiagnosed UTI is another common cause of feelings of sleepiness. This infection doesn't always present with the hallmark symptoms of burning and urgency, sometimes fatigue can be the only physical sign something isn't right. A urine test can quickly spot the problem, and antibiotics can resolve it. The feelings of fatigue that accompany a UTI usually resolve within a week, once you are being treated and your body has chance to recover.

What Trigger Fatigue And Sleepiness, Part 2 Continued...
When fatigue comes on during everyday activities, it can be a sign of
heart problems. It you find it's getting harder to finish a task that used to be easy for you, mention this to your doctor. Often lifestyle changes, medications and therapeutic procedures can do wonders to get heart disease into a manageable state, giving back your energy.
Other well-known conditions that cause fatigue that interferes significantly with daily
life include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or fibromyalgia. Both present with different symptoms, but share the main feeling of persistent, unjustified, utter exhaustion. Neither condition has a quick fix, but once you know what's going on, you can make changes to your schedule and include some gentle exercise to help you feel more energized, less sluggish.
Beyond what the physical body slows us, another cause of fatigue
and sleepiness is often undiagnosed depression. This emotional condition has many physical symptoms, and each person feels them to a different degree. If your feelings of fatigue are accompanied by headaches and a lack of appetite or interest in things you used to enjoy you may be depressed.
Look to your current circumstances to see if you can find a trigger for your feelings of sadness - the death of a loved one, change in life circumstances, birth of a child, retirement - there are many things that can bring a natural lowering of mood. And many things that can help fix it.
To your good health,
