Modern people have abnormal work and rest, high work pressure, and often feel physically fatigued. However, some doctors reminded that if you still feel tired after a moderate rest, or if you are accompanied by symptoms such as fever, dizziness, and weight gain, be careful that it may be “disease-induced” fatigue .

Physician Chen Xinmei of family medicine shared the case in the clinic on Facebook. A young woman with long-term insomnia came to see the doctor and kept complaining, “I’m so tired, I’m really tired.” At first I thought it was caused by lack of sleep, but because According to the medical history, the patient was infected with hepatitis B. To be conservative, blood was taken for a test. Unexpectedly, the patient’s liver index soared to 2000. She was immediately notified to go to the gastroenterology department for further follow-up treatment.

Chen Xinmei pointed out that general fatigue may be caused by lack of sleep, excessive physical exercise, long-term stress, etc. However, if fatigue cannot be relieved no matter how much rest is done, or fatigue is combined with other symptoms, it is necessary to check whether it is caused by a disease.

The following are the 4 major combined symptoms

1. Chronic fatigue syndrome:The main symptom is fatigue, but other symptoms may occur, such as muscle pain, low-grade fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, or concentration problems.

2. Various types of anemia:Due to the reduced ability of the blood to supply oxygen, it is common to hear that people with anemia are prone to fatigue, and may be accompanied by symptoms of dizziness and hair loss (but some anemia has no symptoms at all).

3. Hypothyroidism:The thyroid gland is responsible for the body’s metabolism. If the metabolism decreases, you may feel tired. Some people will have symptoms such as fear of cold, rough hair, easy hair loss, and weight gain.

4. Diabetes:High blood sugar can cause damage to mitochondria. When diabetes is severe, there will be more than 3 symptoms (eating too much, drinking too much, and urinating too much)

In this regard, Chen Xinmei reminded that normal fatigue will improve a lot after moderate rest, “but disease-related fatigue, no matter how you sleep and rest, I am afraid the improvement will not be great!”
