General weakness is the most common disease condition that occurs even more often than a headache. Its essence - we do not have enough strength for a normal life. In our cells nutrients are continuously burned with the help of oxygen, and the energy is spent to live and work, to feel and love, to maintain body heat and restore health. When we do not have enough energy, we quickly get tired, at first we are nervous and irritated ("what happened?"), And then we fall into an apathetic state, something similar to the Buddhist "no feelings and no desires". I do not want anything. It's hard to concentrate, get together and act. In periods such weakness attacks that the legs are shaken. Pulls to lie down and do not move. Sometimes the head is slightly spinning and there is no appetite. You feel unimportant, and what's wrong - it's difficult to formulate. And you say: "Somehow I feel uneasy." The reasons for the energy deficit are many. And we'll look at the most typical ones and let you know when it's urgent to run ... no, it's not going to run very much, it's more like crawling or splashing around to the doctor.
Chronic lack of sleep
If you sleep less than seven hours a week, the blood gradually accumulates substances that cause fatigue. Energy reserves are not replenished. And you miss her. What to do English doctors have found that one night of a long sleep to eliminate a week or a month's lack of sleep is not enough. It is required to compensate for the entire deficit, by the number of hours. I missed five hours - you just have to find five, otherwise the weakness will remain. Daytime sleep can replace nighttime only when you sleep in a dark room: in the dark in the brain produces melatonin, responsible for the restoration of energy reserves of the body. And for his renewal and recovery.
She was exhausted physically, because she was tense, she worked for a long time
Avrily gnaws all reserves and breaks the hormonal balance, which is responsible for the production of energy at the cellular level.
What to do
Rest for a long time. To restore the balance to the norm: to undergo a course of SPA procedures, massage or acupuncture, take drugs that increase the energy of the body - coenzyme Q, B vitamins. Some help complexes with gotukoloy or ginkgo biloba, small doses of eleutherococcus. As for them, one should consult a family doctor, since these drugs are really active.
Emotional overstrain
Are you worried for someone, you care for a sick relative, get divorced? Emotional overexertion is unpleasant in that, after a period of prolonged weakness, apathy and despondency, sometimes leads to a serious illness. And we never know what place in our body will be weak and which his system will refuse first - either the joints fail, or the ulcer in the stomach will form. What to undertake The conflict must be abruptly and irrevocably terminated by any means: even if it leads to new problems, they will cause a different reaction and will not "beat the patient."
Tired of the usual monotonous activity
She immerses us in her monotony in an oppressed state. We are not so weak, as half-asleep, apathetic and inhibited. This condition is typical for those who work without a vacation.
What to do
It seems to us that we must rest and sleep. In fact, we need an inflow of energy from outside: forces are gaining momentum and new impressions. We spend weekends on a walk around the city or on nature, on foot, by bicycle, on roller skates, we leave for a couple of days somewhere in the country guest house.
Pregnancy
Weakness and dizziness appear before nausea in the morning. Sometimes pregnant women do not have any nausea at all, only the weakness terrifies them - in the morning they can not get out of bed.
What to do
Look at your calendar, with the delay of monthly purchases at the pharmacy express test and check. Whether it is not enough that ... Both use of a condom, and reception of hormonal contraceptives, and age "for 39" do not give hundredfold protection from undesirable pregnancy.
Depression
About her, with lethargy, melancholy and lack of desires, we think most often. We fall on her all her feminine weakness. Sometimes, we, and even individual doctors, it is convenient to call an incomprehensible malaise with depression and prescribe tablets that smooth the mood. But in fact, depression is not so common.
What to do
Intermediate doctors diagnose depression by exclusion, last but not least, when everything else is rejected. So do not rush everyone to announce that it "has weakened from depression." Read the article further.
What to do if you are worried about general weakness
Within 14 days it is permissible to deal with one's own weakness. If for 14 days it does not get better - go to the family doctor. If, in addition to weakness, there are still some symptoms - severe dizziness, nausea, headache, rashes on the skin, fever, cough - go to the doctor. Referral for a detailed blood test, including sugar. Direction to the X-ray of the lungs. The direction of ultrasound is all that can be and what the doctor deems appropriate. Consultations of specialists - neurologist, endocrinologist, gynecologist, hematologist (doctor for blood diseases), immunologist (deals with problems with immunity), a psychiatrist (heals depression).
Any remedy - from analgin to antibiotic - can cause weakness during the reception, as described in the annotations to the drugs. When we live a life that we do not like, we can feel increased fatigue and frequent weakness, since all the forces of the body are directed at making us live as we do not want.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
In the first CFS was described in 1984 by the American physician Paul Cheney. He often treated the vacationers who rested at the lake for help, and told the medical community about 200 cases of the disease, which was manifested by constant fatigue. Since then, the diagnosis of "chronic fatigue syndrome" is an occasion for incessant medical disputes. Some believe that this is not a disease, but a condition of a recycled person, who needs a long and tasteful rest. Others argue that the whole fault is the activation of viruses that are constantly parasitizing in our body, for example the Epstein-Barr virus. True, they can not explain why only in individual individuals these viruses cause fatigue resistant, stubbornly incurable and constantly recurring. Still others believe that the whole fault is the imbalance of minerals and trace elements, which resulted from intensive work. With CSA rest, vitamins, massage and other general procedures give a temporary improvement. But the disease is not completely cured. The only way to get rid of the syndrome of chronic fatigue is total rejection of the previous work and transition to another, simple and easy. Perhaps, in this way, the body simply shows us that we must slow down and lead a different life.
Birth control pills
They interfere with our hormonal background and can cause an oppressed and depressed condition, both before the menstrual period.
Go to the gynecologist
And tell me about your feelings. The doctor will pick up for you another contraceptive. Preferably - not associated with hormones.
Beginning viral infection
The organism does not know whether to get sick, or to protect itself from the virus. It behaves like a computer on which too many programs are open: it works slowly and with failures. At the same time it can slightly ache a throat and break joints and back. There are options: to eat ice cream or go to the bath - then, from a shake, you either get sick, or get well, and an incomprehensible weakness or turn into ARD, or stop pestering you. You can take vitamin C: the data on its usefulness are contradictory, but it gives an influx of energy - all scientists are united in this. The dose is from 0.5 to 1 g per day for a week. It is not known why such a "pre-infectious" weakness is removed by the usual aspirin - just take it after a meal so that it does not irritate the stomach. There is a possibility that it will not only give strength, but also prevent the development of a cold or flu.
Chronic viral infection
In our body, there are many viruses, mostly belonging to the herpes group. These viruses are found in 90% of the population. A person derives great benefits from cohabitation with them: they provide us with cross immunity, which protects us from other, much more dangerous infections. Our immune system controls the amount and activity of "our" viruses, and they do us no harm. Sometimes our immune system weakens, and then the cohabitant viruses get out of control, become active, multiply and cause illnesses and disease states, for example, the Epstein-Barr virus is the cause of an infectious mononucleosis resembling a sore throat or a prolonged general weakness and " incomprehensible "indisposition. Due to muscle spasms and altered vertebrae, blood supply to the brain may be impaired. In this case, weakness swings by attacks, as soon as the vessels contract more strongly, and is often associated with a change in the position of the head.
What to do
Do not turn your head and do not tug your chin to look at the starry sky. Carefully carry your head to the neurologist for examination of the vertebrae and vessels of the brain. The doctor will prescribe the treatment, and everything will pass. Take a blood test and evaluate the amount of antibodies to this type of virus. With its activation, antibodies in the blood will be very much. It is desirable to conduct immunological examinations and find out which link of immunity has suffered. Then the doctor appoints individual treatment to restore control of the immune system over the virus and reduce the amount of the virus in the blood. It is very important to determine why the immune system has failed - either chronic stress all the blame, or a concomitant disease, and eliminate the cause.
Anemia
This is a common name for diseases in which blood carries little oxygen. Anemia is often associated with deficiency of iron and vitamin B12. If we do not have enough iron, then hemoglobin is of poor quality and not able to hold oxygen. From the lack of iron, women suffer, adhering to a very strict diet. Deficiency of vitamin B12 occurs in strict vegetarians - vitamin B12, which is necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin, comes to us with meat food, fish, milk and eggs. Failure to do so often causes anemia. Disturbance of absorption in the digestive tract of vitamin Bi2 and iron - a specific reaction of some people to long stress. Few in the blood of iron, is not enough vitamin B12? Eat meat, especially beef and turkey, liver, cheese and eggs. And forget about the "iron from the apple": in plants there is no vitamin B12, and the iron is in a form that is hardly digested by the body. Good for the increase of hemoglobin baby porridge and mixture, because they are specially added to useful substances for blood. If you are a strict vegetarian, buy dry breakfasts and foods enriched with vitamins B and iron. Vitamin B12 produces tea and kefir fungus. Therefore, drinks from them are very useful for everyone, and especially for those who suffer from blood stress worsening.
Lowered thyroid function (hypothyroidism)
The thyroid gland is responsible for the metabolic rate, and a decrease in its activity leads to the fact that all metabolic processes, as well as thinking, digestion, palpitation - slow down. Weakness in hypothyroidism is accompanied by an unreasonable weight gain and memory impairment.
What to do
Go to the endocrinologist-doctor. He will prescribe a test and tell him what to drink.
Diabetes
Often, severe weakness is the first sign of diabetes. In diabetes mellitus, glucose, the main source of energy, does not penetrate into cells and accumulates in the blood. About it as a cause of weakness, you can think about if one of your parents suffers from this disease.
What to do
If you have the idea, stop immediately eating sugar, sweets and white bread. And go to donate blood for sugar - in the morning, on an empty stomach.
Tuberculosis
The probability of it is small, but, nevertheless, it should not be neglected. It is characterized by an easy, constant and automatic coughing, not associated with a feeling of "persecution" in the throat, and a slightly elevated temperature in the evenings. Take the direction of the family doctor for the X-ray of the lungs. Coffee and a contrast shower are a classic of the genre. A brand-new, effective and completely innocent tool - green tea, brewed from the evening, strong, tart, cool, with fresh mint. Squeeze a slice of lemon into it and drink, without getting out of bed. Caffeine from green tea, mint, and organic acids from the lemon tonify the vessels and normalize the pressure quickly and permanently.
