When people suffer from fatigue, they tend to have no energy, may find it difficult to focus and perform everyday tasks, feel constantly tired and exhausted, and may feel weary and lethargic. Fatigue is basically extreme tiredness, and this condition can be acute or chronic. In the case of chronic fatigue, this can be down to a number of factors. Any form of fatigue can be caused by one of a variety of things, such as physical tiredness, emotional distress, or boredom.
It is important to remember that fatigue can stem from other physiological or psychological problems and is often associated with cancer. In cancer patients, the fatigue may come about as a result of depression, which is also another common symptom of being diagnosed with cancer. Other related problems, such as intense pain, may cause the fatigue, or the fatigue may come about as a direct result of the cancer.
Fatigue can be quite serious and very frustrating when it becomes chronic, and it is important to discuss the symptoms and causes with your doctor or a health care professional and attempt to find treatment for the condition. If you are unsure as to what may be causing your fatigue, make sure that you describe all symptoms to your doctor, as patterns may help your doctor to more effectively determine what may be the cause of your fatigue.
Shorter term fatigue may also be the result of certain medications or treatments, and often the fatigue will subside once the treatment of course of medication has been completed. There are a number of steps that can be taken in some cases to try and reduce fatigue such as taking vitamins, getting plenty of sleep, eating a well balanced diet, exercising, drinking plenty of water, and cutting down on alcohol.
