Fatigue is a natural thing. Doing too much activity can cause you to feel tired, which means you need to rest a little before resuming your activities. However, if you are often tired, this may not be normal. There are various causes for you to feel tired, ranging from lack of sleep, lack of physical activity, and many more. There are also medical causes for fatigue. Furthermore, you can see the explanation below.
Cause you are often tired
Fatigue can occur in everyone, from mild, moderate to severe fatigue. You may experience fatigue as if you haven't slept, so you can't do your job well, or you become unproductive at home.
Fatigue can occur due to various things, which sometimes you may not know what causes it. The following are some of the things that may be the cause of frequent fatigue:
1. Health problems
There are many health problems that can make you feel tired. For example, such as anemia, diabetes, thyroid problems, celiac disease, sleep apnea, rheumatism, allergies, food intolerance, to heart disease. Usually fatigue due to this medical condition is accompanied by other symptoms. Other conditions, such as pregnancy can also cause fatigue (especially in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy), but this is very normal for any pregnant woman.
Not only medical problems, fatigue can also occur to those of you who have problems of being overweight or underweight. Being overweight makes your body have to work harder to be able to do activities. Meanwhile, in people who are underweight, they have weaker muscle strength, so they can feel tired faster.
2. Psychological problems
Fatigue can also occur due to psychological problems. This cause is more common than health / physical problems. One of the psychological problems that can cause fatigue is anxiety. Anxiety can cause you to experience insomnia, which if it happens on a regular basis will result in a lot of fatigue.
Worries about work, finances, romance, or other problems in your daily life can leave you feeling exhausted. Because, this worry causes your energy to drain and you sleep less well. Apart from anxiety, depression can also make you feel more tired.
3. Lifestyle
Apart from the two things above, fatigue can also be caused by lifestyle factors. It may not be as severe as health and psychological issues, but in the end your lifestyle can affect your health and psychology.
Lifestyle, such as frequently consuming alcoholic beverages, smoking, having a poor diet, and staying up late can often make you feel tired. If you drink alcohol frequently, this can make you depressed and also affect your sleep, ultimately causing you to feel tired.
In addition, other lifestyles that you may be accustomed to, such as lack of movement, not drinking enough, eating less certain foods (such as iron-rich foods), often skipping breakfast, eating often junk food, and other bad habits can also cause you to experience fatigue.
