The Most Common Causes of Fatigue [VIDEO]

Did you know that fatigue is the most common symptom of a vein condition? Most of us assume that fatigue is a normal part of life, especially as we age. The reality is, sometimes fatigue is normal...and sometimes it's not. Chronic fatigue is not something you have to live with! That's why it's important to understand the different causes of chronic fatigue. Once you know what the cause, you can move forward with treatment.

I see patients every day who are struggling with fatigue and are frustrated because of the lack of answers. "Learning to live with it" is not acceptable - life is passing them by. In my experience, I see many patients who come in with fatigue and are discouraged because they haven't found a solution. My experience tells me that it is a treatable condition if you understand the cause.

What are the causes of fatigue?

Fatigue is caused by excess inflammation in the body which causes that reduction of energy that you feel. There are many common causes of fatigue, and some common causes we see here at Missouri Vein Care are: 

  • Head Cold
  • Anemia / Iron Deficiency
  • Allergies
  • Vein Circulation Problem
  • Autoimmune Diagnoses: Arthritis and Lupus
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Sleep Apnea

In this video, I discuss the most common causes of fatigue in more detail to help you understand what could be happening.

We always recommend that you reach out to your healthcare provider to talk more about your symptoms and what could be causing your fatigue. In the case that you have any leg symptoms, aching and fatigue, it's likely to be caused by an underlying problem with vein circulation. In nearly all the cases I treat, vein treatment dramatically improves those symptoms and the patient experience more energy. We've seen patients who came to us with fatigue and, after treatment, are ecstatic that they get their energy back! With more energy, they enjoy their activities, start exercising and making other improvements to their overall health. 

Schedule a FREE in-person or online vein screening to see if a vein condition is the culprit behind your chronic low energy and fatigue. It's time to get the answers you've been seeking, and take steps to get your energy back.
