Disease That Begins From Fatigue

Each person must have felt tired. Fatigue is a condition in which physical activity is too long, so need a break. But if for example we always feel tired all the time, is it normal?
We tend to blame our lifestyle is too busy, and in some cases may lifestyles can lead to fatigue. The first step you should do is make some lifestyle changes, such as trying to sleep with the recommended period of time, eat healthy foods, drink lots of water, vitamins, reduce caffeine and alcohol.

But before deciding to see a doctor, you need to consider some of the early symptoms of a disease that does not lead to fatigue.

ANEMIA

This condition is more common in women with heavy periods or who do not consume enough iron.

Fatigue caused by anemia is the result of a lack of red blood cells, which carry oxygen from lungs to tissues and cells. You may feel weak and breathless. Anemia can be caused by iron or vitamin deficiency, blood loss, internal bleeding, or chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or kidney failure. Women of childbearing age are susceptible to iron deficiency anemia or blood loss during menstruation and the body needs extra iron during pregnancy and lactation.

Symptoms: Fatigue is a major symptom. Other symptoms include extreme weakness, difficulty sleeping, poor concentration, rapid heartbeat, chest, and headache. For example, climbing stairs or walking short distances, can cause fatigue.

Test: A thorough evaluation for anemia include a physical examination and complete blood tests, including complete blood count (CBC), to check the levels of red blood cells. It’s also standard to check the stool for blood loss.

DIABETES

More than one million people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes every year, but probably more people who do not even know they have diabetes.
Sugar, also called glucose, is the fuel that will make your body can still move. And that means a problem for people with type 2 diabetes who can not use glucose properly, so glucose accumulates in the blood eventually. Without enough energy during exercise, so that’s why people with diabetes will feel tired. Then by Christopher D. Saudek, MD, professor of medicine and director of the program to the General Clinical Research Center at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, fatigue is a major symptom of diabetes.
Symptoms: In addition to fatigue, other symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst, frequent urination, hunger, weight loss, rapid emotional upset or angry, vaginal infections, and blurred vision.

Test: There are two main tests for diabetes. A common one is fasting plasma glucose test, blood glucose levels measured after fasting for 8 hours, usually first thing in the morning. With the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), blood was taken twice: before drinking the glucose syrup, then 2 hours later.
