par Sleep Apnea
An almost epidemic problem today, sleep apnea is caused by either an obstruction due to the way you sleep, or because the brain isn’t signaling your muscles to breathe properly even if your airway isn’t blocked (known as central sleep apnea).
Both types of apnea are very dangerous and can lead to sudden death while sleeping. However, most often what it leads to is a low quality of life due to experiencing non-restorative sleep.
To diagnose this issue, you’ll be sent to a sleep center overnight to do a sleep study. There are many ways to get help with this problem. Even if no one has mentioned that you snore, this is a great test to get to ensure that you are sleeping well.
Medications
If you have any type of illness where you’ve been given medications, they may be causing your problems. They might make you tired, or they may make it hard for you to sleep – thus causing daytime fatigue.
Sometimes you still must take the medication, but often there are other options that you can use so that you can find a medication that doesn’t cause you as many problems.
Other times, there are additional medications that you can take to combat the problem if it’s interfering with your ability to live your life fully.
So, now that we have talked about potential medical issues that cause fatigue, we can move on to talk about other issues that may cause fatigue and how you can overcome it.
After all, the entire point is to find ways to recharge your body and take control of your life.
