    Reading Time: 5 minutes

    ‘I’m tired’ is possibly the most common sentence we hear around us. Whether kids or the grown-ups. Being tired every time is becoming very common day by day. My youngest sister, being a 13 year old only, reflects the soul of a 60-year-old sometimes. Whenever she’s called out to work, she seems tired are lazy. Many parents experience the same problem with their children. Whether their younger ones or the eldest ones, being tired is a very prevalent sight. Why do we always blame children when they’re tired?. Don’t you think it is because of the diet we provide them?. Don’t you feel tired?. Though you express less but deep down you’re agreeing with what I just said. Why worried?. You’re not alone, I feel tired too 😛
    Why don’t just give this one a read?

    What Is Causing You Fatigue?

    Feeling tired can seem like the ultimate symptom of modern life. It often is a byproduct of our nighters, gadgets 24/7, fall-asleep-next-to-your-laptop, wake-up-with-your-phone lifestyle.
    But always feeling tired, ongoing sense of fatigue can also be a sign of something more than too much screen time. It could indicate the presence of one of a wide range of health conditions. While that might sound a little scary, most of these conditions–and their accompanying fatigue can be treated.

    Here’s how to distinguish “modern fatigue” from fatigue that requires medical help.

    Anemia

    Anemia means you don’t have enough red blood cells to take oxygen to all the distant outposts of the body. Less oxygen means lower energy and more fatigue.
    People typically can make blood cells, but if you’re losing more than you’re making, you can feel fatigued
    The most common form of anemia occurs when you’re low in iron, which, in turn, could be the result of gastric bypass surgery, heavy periods, chronic diseases, or vitamin deficiencies.
    A simple test can verify if you have anemia. Treatment depends on what’s causing your lack of red blood cells. The underlying conditions should be addressed first. Otherwise, your doctor may recommend vitamin supplements and/or changes in your diet.

    Celiac Disease

    Celiac is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the small intestine when a person eats gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley.
    The small intestine is so disturbed, you’re not necessarily getting the nutrients that you need.
    This can lead not only to fatigue but also anemia, diarrhoea, and weight loss.
    The only treatment is avoiding foods that contain gluten. Naturally, gluten-free foods include fruits and vegetables, fish and meat, beans, rice, potatoes, and quinoa.

    Sleep Apnea

    Sleep apnea is more than just trouble getting enough Zz’s. It’s when your airways close and you actually stop breathing repeatedly during the night, which, needless to say, wakes you up pretty quickly. Because of those frequent disruptions, people with sleep apnea walk around exhausted.
    It’s more common in people who are obese and, like obesity, adds to your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
    The go-to treatment for sleep apnea is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, which keeps the airways open while you sleep. CPAP machines work, but many people don’t like wearing them and are turning to oral devices now on the market instead. The only actual cure for sleep apnea is losing weight or surgery to remove tissue from your throat.

    Chronic Fatigue

    The defining symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is, of course, fatigue–but with specific characteristics. It’s fatigue that lasts for at least six months, that gets worse with mental or physical exertion, and that doesn’t get better no matter how much you rest. It’s more common in women in their 40s and 50s.
    No one is sure what causes CFS, and it’s usually diagnosed by ruling out other conditions and taking into account other common symptoms like a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, and trouble concentrating.
    There’s no cure for the condition or even specific treatment. Instead, lifestyle measures like pacing yourself can give you more energy. Some people benefit from medication or cognitive therapy.

    Fibromyalgia

    Fatigue isn’t the most pronounced symptom of fibromyalgia (that’s a pain). It’s a big one, along with poor-quality sleep and memory and mood problems. The condition is more common in women.
    Scientists don’t completely understand fibromyalgia but believe it may be caused by changes in the way your brain processes pain signals.
    While there’s no cure, a variety of medications can help control fibromyalgia symptoms. Exercise, relaxation, and stress-reduction measures also may help.
    Certain antidepressants may help ease fibromyalgia fatigue, and not just by controlling pain, which is exhausting in and of itself, but through other mechanisms as well, according to the Mayo Clinic.

    Chronic Pain

    Being in constant pain–for any reason–will tire you out. Your body is busy coping with the inflammation that’s causing the disease. Dealing with pain can also make it hard to sleep and exercise, adding to the run-down feeling. Certain pain-relieving drugs may also sap you of energy.
    Contact a doctor through Marham.pk to see if there’s a way to treat the underlying condition causing the pain while also addressing that tired feeling.
    Any chronic disease, not just chronic pain, can cause fatigue because it diverts energy away from everyday living.

    Thyroid Problems

    Both an underactive and an overactive thyroid can cause fatigue. The more common culprit though is an underactive gland, which doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone. Having an underactive thyroid, also called hypothyroidism, can also mean weight gain and sore muscles.
    With an underactive thyroid, the body compensates up to a point, but if the gland is unable to put out a normal amount of thyroid hormone, the body will slowly lose the ability to … create energy, not only for day-to-day activity but also for the growth and metabolism of cells.
    Hypothyroidism is treated with replacement thyroid hormone. Different medications and sometimes surgery can treat an overactive gland, also called hyperthyroidism.

    Depression

    The stress of everyday life can make you tired. Being depressed or anxious can aggravate it.
    Fatigue due to depression is more than just a lack of energy going about your day; it’s also apathy, problems focusing and remembering, and feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated. That can become a vicious cycle, with the depression fueling the fatigue, which fuels the depression.
    And some antidepressants may make it worse. Talk to a doctor through Marham.pk about antidepressants that don’t cause fatigue and explore non-drug treatments like cognitive behavioural therapy.

    These are the issues which we should not ignore. Identifying them at an early age can be good for you in the later years. If you yourself have experienced this, try to make it better for your kids. Diets nowadays are artificial, unhealthy but still appealing. It is undoubtedly difficult for parents to keep their diets clean. If you’re one of these parents or the one yourself try consulting a doctor and talking to them how you feel. You’ll find the best General Physicians on Marham.pk. Pick up your mobiles and start looking. Oh! or you may already have your mobile in hand if you’re reading this 😛
