Fatigue and exhaustion
It’s common to occasionally feel worn out. However, if you always feel exhausted and you have no idea why, it can indicate a problem.
Reasons for fatigue and exhaustion
Typical reasons for weariness and exhaustion include:
- insufficient sleep or difficulty falling asleep (insomnia)
- an unhealthy way of living (such as eating poorly and not exercising much)
- stress, despair, and overcoming obstacles in life, including caring for a newborn or a bereaved loved one
- hormonal shifts (such those that occur with menopause, pregnancy, or puberty)
- Certain disorders, such as COVID-19 and glandular fever
- some medications and medical procedures, such as chemotherapy, which might make you sleepy for a time
However, if you are fatigued for no apparent reason, it may indicate a medical ailment if it has persisted for some time without improving.
You may be able to determine the cause of your weariness or tiredness from your symptoms. Nonetheless, if you’re concerned, consult a GP rather than self-diagnosing.
