Causes of Fatigue<\/h2>\n

There are eight common causes of Fatigue<\/strong><\/span> worth noting. They are: Anemia, hypothyroidism, infection, vitamin deficiency, over use of caffeine, distressed sleep, \u2018leaky gut\u2019 syndrome and heart disease\u2026. to name but a few.<\/p>\n

Signs and Symptoms of Anemia causing Fatigue
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most common symptom of all types of anemia is fatigue<\/em> (tiredness). Fatigue<\/span> occurs because your body doesn\u2019t have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to its many parts.
\nAlso, the red blood cells your body makes have less hemoglobin than normal. Hemoglobin is a protein in the red blood cells with iron. It helps red blood cells carry oxygen to the entire body through your circulation.
\nAnemia also can cause shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, coldness in your hands and feet, pale skin, and chest pain.
\nIn infants and young children, signs of anemia may be as a result of poor appetite, slowed growth and development, and behavioral problems.<\/p>\n

Iron Deficiency also impacts\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Signs and symptoms of iron deficiency may include brittle nails, swelling or soreness of the tongue, cracks in the sides of the mouth, an enlarged spleen, and frequent infections.
\nSome signs and symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia are related to the condition\u2019s causes. For example, a sign of intestinal bleeding is bright red blood in the stools or black, tarry-looking stools.
\nVery heavy menstrual bleeding, long periods, or other vaginal bleeding may suggest that a woman is at risk for iron-deficiency anemia. With effective iron supplements, your energy levels should improve within a month. Depending on the amount of iron supplements you take, they do have a tendency to cause constipation.<\/p>\n

Under-active Thyroid Causes Fatigue (hypothyroidism)<\/h2>\n

If you are generally feeling dopey, a little depressed, or just over all run down the issue may be related to a slow or under-active thyroid known as hypothyroidism. The thyroid is a gland found in the neck small and is butterfly shaped. It controls your metabolism, the speed at which your body operates.
\nDifficulty with this could also result in weight gain. Your doctor can run a blood test looking at your T3 and T4 hormones to see if this an issue for you. If so, a compounded prescription is a quick solution to get your energy levels back.<\/p>\n

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) Causes Fatigue<\/h3>\n

Most women know when they have a UTI with common symptoms such as burning or urgency. However on occasion undiagnosed infections that you might not be aware of in the urinary tract may cause fatigue<\/em><\/span>. There are now OTC strips that you can use in the feminine hygiene area to run a self test. If you still suspect a UTI, your doctor could test your urine. Resolution and antibiotic treatment is quick and easy.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B Deficiency Causes Fatigue<\/h4>\n

Because vitamin B12 is important to red blood cell formation, its deficiency leads to an oxygen-transport problem known as pernicious anemia. This disorder can cause mood swings, paranoia, irritability, confusion, dementia, hallucinations, or mania, eventually followed by appetite loss, dizziness, weakness, shortage of breath, heart palpitations, diarrhea, and tingling sensations in the extremities.
\nDeficiencies take a long time to develop, since the body stores a three- to five-year supply in the liver. When shortages do occur, they are often due to a lack of an intrinsic factor, an enzyme that allows vitamin B12 to be absorbed in the intestinal tract.<\/p>\n

Caffeine Overload Causes Fatigue<\/h5>\n

Yes, caffeine is a stimulant for most people. If women consume too much caffeine, the results will have a negative effect and leave you sluggish and with unexplained fatigue. If you feel this is the case for you, eliminate caffeine from your diet. Be aware quitting caffeine cold turkey can result in headaches that last over a week. Caffeine can be found in many forms such as chocolate, coffee, tea, soda and even some medications like Excedrin.<\/p>\n

Sleep Apnea Causes Fatigue<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Even though you are sleeping the proper amount of hours, you might not be getting enough sleep. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by momentarily stop breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing, during sleep. You could be doing this through the night and not even know it\u2019s happening. If left untreated, it can cause heart attacks or strokes. Proper diagnose and treatment is required to regain a restful night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

Undiagnosed Heart Disease Causes Fatigue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cardiovascular disease is a frequent cause of death and your fatigue could be related to your heart. Supplements like Omega Fatty Acids and CoQ10, prescription medications or treatment procedures can usually help correct the problem, reduce the fatigue, and restore your energy. It is critical to seek treatment to resolve any issues you may be having with your heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeaky Gut\u201d Syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the condition in which the intestine is too permeable. Undigested peptides or other food components pass into the blood from the intestine resulting in allergic reactions.
\nA simple and effective method is to eliminate a suspected food for a week or two and then reintroduce it. Many people will notice they do not feel as well if they reintroduce an offending food. Energy may decrease, or one may develop a runny nose, bags under the eyes, headache, upset stomach, gas or other symptoms.<\/p>\n
