\"Tired\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

BY DR. KHOOBSURAT NAJMA<\/h4>\n

Do you feel excessive tiredness that doesn\u2019t go away after rest? Do you have constant headaches and body aches? You could be suffering from any of these:<\/p>\n

ANEMIA<\/h4>\n

One of the commonest causes of fatigue is anemia. Anemia may be caused by iron or vitamin deficiency, blood loss or kidney failure.<\/p>\n

The symptoms:<\/strong> Fatigue, difficulty sleeping, lack of concentration, rapid heartbeat, and headache. Simple exercise, such as climbing the stairs or walking short distances, can cause fatigue.<\/p>\n

The tests:<\/strong> Anemia blood profile including complete blood count (CBC)<\/p>\n

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY<\/h4>\n

There’s been an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency over the last few decades because we have been avoiding the sun.<\/p>\n

The Symptoms:<\/strong> bone pains, excessive fatigue, mood swings<\/p>\n

The tests:<\/strong> Blood tests that detect vitamin D levels in the body<\/p>\n

THYROID DISEASE<\/h4>\n

Deficiency of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) can also cause fatigue and tiredness. Hypothyroidism is most common in women over age 50<\/p>\n

The symptoms:<\/strong> fatigue, an inability to concentrate, muscle pains, weight gain, feeling cold all the time (even in warmer weather), irregular periods and constipation<\/p>\n

The tests:<\/strong> Blood tests called Thyroid function tests<\/p>\n

DIABETES<\/h4>\n

Another important reason is fluctuating blood sugar levels. Without enough energy to keep the body running smoothly, people with diabetes often notice fatigue as one of the first warning signs<\/p>\n

The symptoms<\/strong>: exhaustion, excessive thirst, frequent urination, hunger, weight loss, irritability, infections<\/p>\n

The tests:<\/strong> Fasting and random blood sugar tests, HbA1c test, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT),<\/p>\n

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME<\/h4>\n

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition in which a person feels extreme tiredness which is not improved by rest. The symptoms persist for at least 6 months<\/p>\n

The symptoms:<\/strong> excessive tiredness, recurring pain, headaches, sore throat, muscle pain, joint pain, problems with memory and concentration, sleep disturbances, weakness or dizziness.<\/p>\n

The tests:<\/strong> There are none. Your doctor will diagnose it by ruling out other conditions with similar symptoms<\/p>\n

SLEEP APNEA<\/h4>\n

Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep<\/p>\n

The symptoms<\/strong>: snoring, followed by tiredness the next day.<\/p>\n

The tests<\/strong>: Polysomnogram, a painless test that monitors sleep patterns, breathing changes, and brain activity.<\/p>\n
