🩺 Sunday Wellness Myth

❌ Myth: Being tired means you didn't get enough sleep.

✅ Reality: Fatigue doesn't always mean you need more sleep.

Common causes include:

• Poor sleep quality or sleep apnea

• Anemia or iron deficiency

• Thyroid disorders

• Diabetes

• Heart or kidney disease

• Chronic infections

• Stress, anxiety, or depression

• Medication side effects

• Lifestyle factors, including diet, inactivity, and alcohol use

These are common causes, not an exhaustive list.

Practical tip: If fatigue persists despite adequate sleep, track your symptoms, review your medications with your clinician, and get evaluated. Blood tests or a sleep study may be appropriate depending on your symptoms and medical history.

🚨 Seek urgent medical attention for fatigue accompanied by chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or fainting.

Don't just treat the symptom. Look for the underlying cause.
