Fatigue is a common and subjective sensation of lack of energy and feeling tired or exhausted physically or mentally. Fatigue is likely caused by a variety of factors, including lack of sleep, poor nutrition, stress, medical conditions, and overexertion.
While fatigue is usually resolved by resting and relaxing, persistent severe fatigue should be investigated by a doctor. Common medical causes of persistent fatigue include anemia, underactive thyroid, vitamin deficiencies, chronic pain, heart disease, and sleep disorders like insomnia or sleep apnea.
