Seeing a specialist who can diagnose these symptoms is vital and should form the basis of a good health screen. Symptoms to watch out for with anaemia are breathlessness, tiredness, fatigue, lethargy, weakness, memory lapses, loss of concentration, irritability, paleness, headache, rapid heart rate, jaundice or cold extremities. If you have any of those symptoms you should speak to someone with a possibility of getting this looked at. Anaemia can go undiagnosed for a long time and is a significant cause of illness in the population.
Depression
Depression is often thought of as a psychological disorder but there are often physical symptoms associated with depression, one of them being tiredness. People who have depression often suffer from fatigue, feeling down, loss of appetite, or headaches. Along with anaemia this is a very common form of tiredness which is often overlooked in the general population. There are key people that can help you if you need advice on this and getting in touch with the right people can make a huge difference in your life.
Underactive Thyroid
Thyroid disease is a common cause of tiredness in the population.
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland which sits on the front of the throat region and is responsible for releasing the hormone thyroxine directly into the bloodstream. Thyroid hormone is responsible for the regulation of some very important processes in the body. Tiredness results when there is not enough thyroid hormone circulating in the body. If detected early enough this condition can be treated. Seeing the right person can help with the early diagnosis and treatment of most people. If you think you suffer from thyroid disease the main symptoms to look out for including tiredness are changes to your hair and nails, changes to your skin and complexion, hair falling out (alopecia). Iodine in the diet is largely considered important when considering thyroid disease. Iodine is transported with sodium through a co-transporter into the thyroid gland, where the molecules are incorporated into thyroxine or tri-iodothyronine (T4 and T3). These are chemically different and function at different sites at different strengths, T3 being the stronger acting of the two.
Dehydration
Dehydration is a major contributor to tiredness in the adult population.
Not drinking enough water can contribute significantly to tiredness mainly due to the importance of water in your body. Almost all chemical reactions in the body that produce energy are H20 dependent or utilise water in one way or another. By having a reduced water intake you cannot only suffer from tiredness but you will suffer from reduced mental capacity and excessive thirst. Your body is trying to tell you to do something about it.
There is a simple solution, drink more water. However, most foods contain water, especially fruit and vegetables. These forms of fluid also count towards your water intake and thus should form part of a balanced diet.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue is certainly a condition that is on everyone’s mind when it comes to tiredness.
The condition is diagnosed in those men and women suffering from extreme tiredness lasting more than 6 months. It is a medical diagnosis and there are some key facts that are looked for when this is diagnosed.
The tiredness is not noticeably relieved by rest, it is not associated with any other disease and it is not due to ongoing external states.
The disease also has other names and can often be called these too (post-viral fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome. There have been some suggested triggers and causes for CF but none have been completely implicated in the disease.
All in all a very debilitating disease should be diagnosed by a medical practitioner.
