7 Medical Reasons for Constant Fatigue
CLAMOTION made a list of diseases, the main symptoms of which include constant fatigue. Read and stay healthy!
Iron deficiency
Iron deficiency (anemia) is characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin production. Cells don’t receive enough oxygen, and this causes permanent fatigue.
Other symptoms:
- The desire to eat something strange (most often ice, sometimes dirt or starch);
- Constantly cold hands or feet;
- Discomfort in the chest, shortness of breath;
- Pale skin, brittle layered nails;
- A painful, swollen, or sore tongue.
In the initial stages, you can fix the situation by increasing the amount of iron-rich foods in your diet. Champions for iron content are clams, meat, variety meats, and pulses (see other products here).

Vitamin B12 deficiency
Fatigue is one of the first signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency. This element is found only in products of animal origin, so vegetarians are the first to be at risk.
Other symptoms:
- Bad mood, tearfulness, anxiety;
- Blurred vision, the appearance of unusual shadows;
- Pale or yellowish skin, smooth tongue;
- Numbness, tingling, burning in the limbs.
With a lack of vitamin B12, changes in nutrition can help only if you have really refused meat for some period of time (for example, you kept to a diet). In all other cases, you should take a synthetic analog, the correct dose of which will be prescribed by a doctor.
