Default 7 Causes of Fatigue In Women

1) Anemia. A woman in her reproductive years, especially if you have heavy periods, have recently given birth or have uterine polyps or fibroid tumors can lose enough blood to bring on anemia. This is one of the leading causes of fatigue in women. Your doctor will order a blood test and if anemia is the cause of your fatigue, you’ll be given iron supplements and urged to add natural food sources like spinach, broccoli and red meat to your diet. With treatment, your fatigue should lift in 30 days, or less.

2) Underactive thyroid. If you generally feel sluggish, run down or even a bit depressed, a slow thyroid could be the cause. Known as hypothyroidism, Goldberg believes this condition is one of the major health problems of women in the U.S., and may be much more widespread than anyone has realized.

According to the American Thyroid Foundation, by 60 years old, about 17% of women will have a thyroid disorder and not know it. To check, ask for blood tests known as T3 and T4 used to detect thyroid hormones, if they’re low, synthetic hormones can be prescribed to bring you back up to speed. You’ll start feeling better pretty quickly.

3) Undiagnosed urinary tract infection (UTI). In some instances, according to Goldberg, fatigue can be the only clue of a UTI a woman gets. You might have no other symptoms, or symptoms that are mild enough to go unnoticed.

UTIs are caused by bacteria in the urinary tract that can come from improper wiping (back to front) or sexual intercourse. A urine test will tell and the treatment is simple, involving an oral antibiotic medication. Your fatigue should lift within the week… perhaps sooner. If the symptoms return after being on medication, get tested again – sometimes UTIs can be chronic.

4) Caffeine Overload. For some women, the caffeine that revs most people up does the opposite for them. In an article in US Pharmacist, author W. Stephen Pray, Ph.D., RPh. agrees that caffeine is a stimulant, but if you use too much, the opposite can be true – abuse brings fatigue. If you try to solve the problem with yet more caffeine, your fatigue will actually get worse. Your best bet is to eliminate as much caffeine from your diet as you can. Look beyond coffee to chocolate, tea, soda and even some medications.

5) Food intolerances. Hidden food intolerances, even mild ones, can leave you feeling tired. Eat the troublesome food long enough and you could find yourself feeling continually exhausted. Fatigue is sometimes an early warning sign that food intolerance has developed. To find out, Rudy Rivera, MD suggests you start with an elimination diet, cutting out any food that has you feeling sleepy within 10 to 30 minutes of eating it.

According to Rudy Rivera, MD, author of "Your Hidden Food Allergies Are Making You Fat", mild food intolerance can leave you feeling sleepy. If you continue eating the offending food long enough, you could find yourself feeling exhausted all the time.

Caffeine is good for us, but we have to take it in moderation. Thanks for sharing the info.

Avoid these factors that cause fatigue in women. Always take what's necessary for your health.

In addition:


6: Sleep Apnea

If you're not getting enough sleep, it stands to reason you'll be tired. But what if you don't know that you aren't getting sufficient sleep? This is often the case with a condition called sleep apnea -- a sleep disorder that causes you to momentarily stop breathing, often many times during the night. Each time you stop breathing, you awaken just long enough to disrupt your sleep cycle, usually without being aware of it. Your only clue, says Goldberg, is that you experience constant fatigue no matter how many hours you sleep each night.

7: Undiagnosed Heart Disease

If you find yourself becoming exhausted after activity that used to be easy, it may be time to talk to your doctor about the possibility of heart disease.

According to Goldberg, when overwhelming fatigue sets in after ordinary tasks -- such as vacuuming the house, doing yard work, or commuting from work each day -- your heart may be sending out an SOS that it needs medical attention.

I think "thinking too much" is what makes women feel tired. Women can't help it especially the mothers as they need to take care of their children, husband, house, bills, etc. I mean no women can ever avoid this but they are great in doing all things. So for all women out there, if you don't want to get sick or look older than your real age, don't think too much.

There are various reasons that may be needed to look into the causes of fatigue and sleepiness . Here are some of them :

Lack of Adequate Sleep: Generally, an individual requires eight hours of sleep in a day. Lack of adequate sleep may affect his concentration and health.

Remedy: Make sure you get enough sleep. Shut down your laptop at least thirty minutes before going to bed and don't forget to switch off your cell phone too!

Sleep Apnea: Some people are not able to get a complete sleep during night due to sleep apnea. In this disorder, the breathing stops briefly during sleep. Every time it occurs, the quality of sleep declines. You may feel that you have had a sleepless night even though you have slept for eight hours.

Remedy: Quit smoking, reduce weight if necessary or use a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) mechanism to keep your breathing process normal throughout the night.
Lack of Energy: You may feel fatigued if you are not able to get proper nutrition through your food.
