Asthenia is one of the most common symptoms associated with various diseases, including mental disorders, kidney, liver and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and infectious diseases. But what exactly is asthenia and how to recognize it?
Asthenia is a general state of weakness of the body, which manifests itself in the form of fatigue, loss of strength, weakness, body pain, dizziness, instability, chills and other unpleasant symptoms. The causes of asthenia can be different, but most often they are associated with negative changes in the nervous and endocrine systems, circulatory disorders, changes in the functioning of muscles, heart, kidneys and liver, as well as metabolic disorders.
Asthesia can be recognized by the following symptoms:
* Fatigue: a constant feeling of lack of energy that is not affected by the amount of sleep or physical activity. * Painful sensations: pain in muscles, joints, head or stomach. * Decreased strength: difficulty climbing stairs, working on a computer, speaking, reading books and other daily tasks. * Chills: Tendency to chills and cramps, especially at night. * Sleep disorders: frequent awakenings in the middle of the night feeling tired and weak. * Change in appetite: change in food needs and tastes. * Mood disorders: depression, anxiety, irritability and decreased mental activity.
It should be noted that the symptoms of asthenia, although common, may not be permanent and transient. They may not spread throughout the entire body or appear at intervals. However, if you experience little desire or need to sleep, fatigue, headaches, body aches, or memory problems, there may be a medical problem. Therefore, you should consult a doctor for a professional assessment and determination of the causes of asthenia.
