If this is an emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
What causes fatigue?
Fatigue can have any number of causes. In short, it’s a sign that the body is struggling to keep up with its energy demands. Sometimes it can be caused by something simple like a calorie deficit or lack of sleep. On the other hand, it can also be a symptom of more serious health concerns. For example, the body may use excess energy in order to support an immune response, which makes the body tired. Fatigue can also be a sign of anemia.
If left untreated
If left untreated, the underlying cause of your fatigue may go undetected. So, when you’re feeling overly tired, it is best to consult a medical professional. DispatchHealth can help you get to the root cause of your fatigue and other non-life-threatening conditions. Contact us to learn more.
