Various symptoms that can be felt when we experience viral infection include fever, muscle pain, and throat or respiratory infections. To eliminate viral infection in our body, we only need to increase the immune system within the body. And this immune system will be able to fight viruses in the body if we live a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle includes getting enough rest, avoiding exhaustion, and consuming balanced nutritious food.

This is because when the body is tired, blood sugar cannot be regulated properly, and we will often feel tired even though the consumed blood sugar is sufficient. If the blood sugar in the body cannot be controlled properly, then diabetes will appear. And of course, this is not healthy.

Not only that, fatigue can also change our eating and sleeping patterns. Unhealthy lifestyle and consuming something wrong and excessive can worsen blood sugar in the body.

The heart is a very dangerous disease, and it can attack humans at any time. It does not know age and also health in the body. The heart is still the number one deadly disease in the world, the heart can take someone's life in just a matter of seconds.

The heart disease itself occurs due to blockages that occur in the blood vessels in the heart. And these blockages are caused by atherosclerosis plaque, which is plaque caused by various factors, one of which is diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. Of course, diabetes can occur due to fatigue, and fatigue can also worsen this atherosclerosis plaque.

If this atherosclerosis plaque ruptures, it will block blood vessels and can experience a sudden heart attack. Therefore, being too tired is also not good for the body. Therefore, take care of your health and do not force yourself too much.

Diseases caused by fatigue, namely anemia. If we experience fatigue, it is possible that we will also experience anemia or lack of blood which will cause dizziness and fainting. Anemia itself is a condition where red blood cells are at abnormal or very low levels. Anemia also occurs because we lack attention to nutritional intake for the body, especially iron which can provide enough red blood supply to the body.

Unhealthy eating patterns and lack of consuming nutritious substances can affect someone's iron deficiency. It is good for those of you who are busy, to still pay attention to eating patterns by consuming foods that contain iron such as meat, fish, and eggs.

Depression can also be included in diseases caused by fatigue that we can feel. We know that being too tired can cause depression in the body. Depression is a disorder in the brain that can make mood very bad, in addition it can also lose appetite, have difficulty concentrating, and experience deep sadness.

According to Dr. Maurizio Fava, a Director of Clinical Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, people with depression often have non-restorative sleep stages. And these sleep stages occur due to excessive routines that are performed and cause severe fatigue. Of course, this can cause depression in someone.

It is very difficult to know whether someone who is tired also experiences depression or not. But one thing for sure, tired people who experience depression are accompanied by other symptoms. And these symptoms are sadness, despair, and a decrease in enthusiasm for activities.

Hypothyroidism, also known as thyroid disease, is one of the diseases caused by fatigue that can be experienced. The thyroid is a small gland located below the neck. This hormone regulates many things, from energy levels to immune function, similar to lymph nodes, but in fact, the thyroid and lymph nodes are different.

The main thing when we lack thyroid is the fatigue experienced. Fatigue can reduce thyroid production, making the body always feel weak. Not only that, other symptoms include weight gain, constipation, dry skin, and often feeling cold.

7. Adrenaline Deficiency

And the last disease caused by fatigue is adrenaline deficiency. This is a hormonal change that occurs in the body when we feel tired. Adrenaline will decrease due to excessive activities we do. And of course, this is not good for the body. In addition, symptoms that occur when our hormones change due to fatigue are weight loss, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and some skin appears darker than other skin.

Those are 7 diseases caused by fatigue that we should know. Forcing the body to continue working until exhaustion is not a good thing to do. Therefore, getting enough rest and consuming nutritious food are good ways to maintain a healthy body.
