The reasons for fatigue are usually obvious. Celebrating until 3 am, working 12 hours a day and carrying children around are behaviors linked to consequences. You'll be tired. However, exhaustion is not always caused by the hectic lifestyles that women and men lead today. In fact, it can depend on factors such as stress, sleep apnea, anemia, depression, thyroid problems and drug side effects. Those who feel chronically fatigued should speak to a doctor to see if the conditions listed above are among the reasons for their physical condition. In the long term, if left untreated, fatigue can lead to the development of "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"
