Women with thyroid problems, anemia, heart disease, and going through menopause often feel tired due to hormone disorders and loss of energy.
Anemia
Anemia causes low red blood cell count or hemoglobin concentration in red blood cells. This condition can be due to many causes such as anemia due to iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, and folic acid. Depending on the severity, patients have symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, dizziness, decreased concentration, loss of appetite, feeling of tightness in the chest, and difficulty breathing when exerting or walking a lot. Anemic women often have blue skin, dry, brittle nails, dry hair that falls out easily, and amenorrhea.
Women with anemia may experience prolonged menstrual cycles. Your doctor can check for anemia with a simple blood test. To overcome this, women should eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and in some cases, supplement iron according to the doctor’s recommendations.
Diabetes
Women with diabetes get tired more easily than healthy people. Because the body uses a lot of energy to cope with changes in blood sugar levels. In addition to this symptom, patients often have symptoms such as frequent thirst and frequent urination.
Thyroid problems
Women are more likely to have thyroid problems than men due to differences in body structure and physiology. Women go through many hormonal changes such as puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause. When you have thyroid diseases, hormones decrease, causing fatigue. People with hyperthyroidism may also suffer from insomnia or poor sleep.
Heart disease
Extreme fatigue is a common symptom of congestive heart failure, which occurs when the heart doesn’t pump blood well. Fatigue in people with heart failure is often worse when exercising. Patients may also experience swelling in their arms or legs, or difficulty breathing.
Sleep apnea
This sleep disorder occurs when the body does not receive enough oxygen while sleeping. Often patients do not realize they have sleep apnea, and have difficulty understanding why they are sleepy during the day. Most patients have symptoms of loud snoring, fatigue after waking up, daytime sleepiness, restlessness, headaches, loss of concentration, and memory loss. A positive pressure ventilator (CPAP) can help patients. This device works on the principle of creating an airflow to keep the upper airway open during sleep.
Menopause
Menopausal women often have difficulty sleeping well. Hormones change a lot during this period, causing women to experience night sweats and hot flashes, easily tossing and turning at night and feeling sluggish during the day.
Depression
Depression causes an imbalance of serotonin in the body. Serotonin plays an important role in regulating memory, sleep, digestion, mood… Women with this disease may experience reduced energy levels and daytime fatigue. People may also have difficulty sleeping at night or wake up earlier in the morning.
