The feeling of fatigue is an inseparable element of modern human life. Any effort, both physical and mental, that exceeds the limits of human adaptation can cause a constant feeling of fatigue. Fatigue is one of the most commonly experienced conditions in society. Is it always caused by too much physical or mental activity?
Constant fatigue – types
The feeling of fatigue is most often associated with physical fatigue that occurs after intense exercise and the work of our muscles. This type of fatigue is characterized by a feeling of pain, sometimes muscle twitching due to the decreased ability of the muscles to contract. A typical symptom of physical fatigue after too strenuous and incorrect training may be the so-called muscle sores.
Another type of fatigue is fatigue as a result of hard mental work. It is characterized by a lack of concentration or difficulty remembering.
There is also emotional fatigue caused by various events in our life, which can manifest as irritability, sudden changes in mood, trouble falling asleep.
It is also worth mentioning sensory fatigue, which is associated with overloading one of the senses, e.g. eyesight with the screen of a TV or computer.
To assess the causes of constant fatigue, perform Fatigue – a test package for people at risk of overloading the body. The collection of the sample for testing can take place in a medical facility or at the patient’s home.
Short-term fatigue is not harmful to our health and after resting our body is able to regenerate and is ready for further work. However, when the feeling of fatigue is constant, it can be the result of a serious illness and negatively affect our private and professional lives. Chronic fatigue is a disorder that lasts at least six months and is characterized by a constant sense of extreme exhaustion that continues despite resting. Chronic fatigue is very dangerous to our health and even life.

Symptoms of chronic fatigue
Chronic fatigue, also known as chronic fatigue or chronic fatigue syndrome, is a condition that most often affects young, active and very ambitious women between 30 and 45 years of age. Most often it manifests as a constant or recurring feeling of fatigue that does not go away despite rest. A constant feeling of sleepiness, lack of energy, irritability and lack of concentration can have a negative impact on our professional, social or personal activity. There are eight main symptoms that are a sign of chronic fatigue in humans. These are:
- an unlocalized headache, other than the one that occurs before or during the disease
- a sore throat or a hoarseness
- the so-called migratory joint pain without swelling,
- painful, enlarged cervical or axillary lymph nodes
- unreasonable muscle pain,
- memory and concentration disorders,
- excessive sleepiness or insomnia,
- prolonged feeling of general fatigue after exercise.
If you have four or more of the symptoms listed above in addition to exhaustion, it is a sign that you may be suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.
In this case, you can try natural dietary supplements with spirulina, which will strengthen the body by strongly affecting it. It is also worth using preparations with vitamin C, eg B-Complex with vitamin C and Terranova herbs or Vitamin C Natural + Health Labs – vitamin C from natural plant extracts available on Medonet Market.
Check if you should consult a doctor? Go through the initial medical interview yourself.
Constant fatigue as a symptom of the disease
A constant, often unjustified feeling of fatigue may be caused by a disease entity. The main health conditions where fatigue may be one of the symptoms are:
- anemia,
- hepatitis – caused by the type C virus (HCV),
- kidney failure
- problems with the thyroid gland – overactive or underactive thyroid gland,
- type II diabetes – occurs when the body produces too little insulin,
- latent heart diseases – e.g. inflammation of the heart muscle after a previous flu,
- sleep apnea,
- lung diseases,
- urinary tract infection
- infection with EBV,
- food intolerance.
It should be remembered that the feeling of fatigue in the above diseases is only one of the symptoms and does not always mean that we suffer from one of them. However, in the case of long-term fatigue that has no physical or mental background, it is worth consulting a doctor for diagnosis.
Prophylactically, you can perform tests that will help you determine the condition of your body. For those who are still tired, we recommend, for example, the fit & active test package – diagnostic blood tests or tests for an athlete – home blood collection.
Talk to your doctor about the problem of excessive sleepiness. Also remember that you can talk to a specialist comfortably while at home using the e-visit option. Register now and take care of yourself.
How to deal with constant fatigue?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a rather complex problem. One of the main steps in the treatment of this condition is to find its cause, only then can you take appropriate steps to eliminate it. How can we get rid of the feeling of constant fatigue ourselves? Here are the main ways:
- Rest – the right amount of sleep and its quality are very important. In order for our body to function well, it needs time to regenerate during sleep. How much should we sleep? It depends on our age, the older a person is, the less sleep is needed. On average, an adult needs approximately 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to recover.
- Food – in order for our body to function properly, it needs proper fuel, which will provide a lot of good energy. You should avoid sweets, junk food that give you energy only for a while, and enrich your diet with fruit, vegetables, meat and plenty of water. The diet can also be supported with appropriate supplementation. At Medonet Market you can now buy 200ug Viridian Selenium, as selenium deficiency may result in a constant feeling of fatigue.
- Herbs – The natural power of herbs can prove to be a great help in the case of chronic fatigue. Try, for example, the mace herb, from which you can make tea and drink it regularly. The mace has a positive effect on well-being and reduces the symptoms of fatigue. You can also reach for Energy and stimulation – a natural herbal blend of Lorem Vit, the ingredients of which support daily activities.
- Sport – if you feel constantly tired, get mobilized and go outside, nothing gives you more energy than physical activity in the fresh air. About 40 minutes of cycling, inline skating, walking or jogging around the lake is enough.
- Enabling the so-called chillout rules – stressful situations cause problems with falling asleep, which affects the constant feeling of fatigue, irritation, headache, etc. It is known that we are not able to avoid situations that make us feel stressed, but we must learn to approach many situations that we face relaxed, remembering that many things are beyond our control.
- The use of relaxing massages with the use of oils, eg. Relaxing massage fluid with lavender oil.
If the above solutions do not help and you still feel a constant feeling of fatigue, the problem may be much more serious and consultation with your doctor is inevitable.
You can also try the dietary supplement in the form of BoostMe Now Health Labs capsules – when you quickly need stimulation, which has a beneficial effect on the brain, stimulates and reduces the feeling of fatigue.
