Feeling tired during the day could be a normal response to something ordinary, like a late night. But fatigue is more than just tiredness, and if it’s sudden or chronic, fatigue may indicate an underlying medical condition that needs to be addressed.
Different from feeling sleepy or tired, fatigue is often experienced as a lack of energy or motivation. Sometimes fatigue is related to lifestyle factors, but in some cases, it’s the result of a cardiovascular condition or other health problem.
Symptoms
A number of different factors can contribute to fatigue, including underlying medical conditions, lifestyle components, and mental health issues. The many possible causes of fatigue range from poor nutrition and depression to heart rhythm disorders and coronary artery disease. When there’s no obvious explanation for your fatigue, it’s time to schedule an appointment with the specialists at Manhattan Cardiovascular Associates to find the cause.
