Question 1

what causes severe fatigue that comes one day and goes another but chronic without amlified by heat or exercise? it seems happening randomly.female,32

Accepted Answer

Way too many: possibilities to narrow it down without a very thorough history and physical. If this persists for more than one month, get a check up.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Depression: I commend you for your “eating well, exercise every day,"
I understand your concern of being tired, fatigued and losing the enjoyment of of things. These could be due to stresses causing Depression.
Let Wise Person in you ask for stresses of:
•Relationships/ Marriage
•Separation/Divorce
•Parenting
•Loneliness
•Finances
•Work
Please see a Psychiatrist for:
•Diagnosis 
•Therapy for stresses in life

Question 3

can i exercise with adrenal fatigue?

Accepted Answer

Exercising + Adrenal: Walking in nature or other meditative exercises help to decrease the body's stress response and call for cortisol.

If a person has "adrenal fatigue", they have poor exercise recovery from extreme exertion, and that can delay healing.    

I always recommend avoid over-training if a person has impaired recovery from exercise or a suspicion of adrenal fatigue.

Question 4

can being underweight cause tiredness and exercise intolerance?

Accepted Answer

See below: Yes: Underweight might be secondary to or symptomatic of an underlying disease. Unexplained weight loss needs evaluation asap. Severely underweight individuals may have poor physical stamina and a weak immune system, leaving one open to infection. Malnutrition due to poor/inadeq intake, genetics, underlying mental or physical disease need to be ruled out.

Question 5

why do my muscles fatigue so quickly when i exercise? i'm an athlete and this doesn't usually happen.

Accepted Answer

Muscle Fatigue?: Have you been pushing yourself harder than normal? Do you over train?  Are you an endurance athlete? Have you had changes to your training schedule or program? Do you stretch adequately?  These are questions that are worth asking yourself. See: https://nssmc.com.au/conditions-we-treat/fatigue-and-performance/

Question 6

if i am commonly fatigued and tired a lot, i already exercise and try to eat well, so would taking magnesium be helpful?

Accepted Answer

Fatigue needs to: be looked at by your doc.  Could be thyroid, other hormones, or lifestyle.  Magnesium alone is not the answer.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

i am experiencing fatigue during the day even after 8 hours of sleep? its been like this for n few weeks now. diet is healthy and i exercise.

Accepted Answer

It maybe your sleep: May be you aren't getting enough / good quality sleep, or probably your thyroid gland. Try to observe good sleep hygiene: no caffeinated beverages in the evening, no exercise late evening too, no tv/smart phone/ computer 1 hour before bedtime, quiet cool dark bedroom, etc.. if that doesn't work see your doctor for assessment, best wishes

Question 8

i have fibromyalgia. the fatigue is as big a problem as the pain. what meds can help? i already exercise, have a good diet, practice relaxation.

Accepted Answer

A different option: I now you asked about medication, but I wanted to let you know that acupuncture can be a good adjunctive treatment. Take care.

Question 9

why do i feel fatigued (mentally) all the time even after getting a good night's sleep and plenty of exercise? i just don't feel like being productive

Accepted Answer

Depression: Please see your family doctor for a full physical and laboratory workup and then see a psychiatrist who can treat what sounds like the onset of depression. Best wishes to you. If you do have depression make sure you also get into psychotherapy.

Question 10

can being underweight cause fatigue during exercise ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you are underweight because you are not getting enough nutrition, then yes. You can't get all the benefits of exercise if you are starving. If you are naturally thin, then it's probably not related.
