A member asked:
Can lung problems cause fatigue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type: There are many types of lung problems. Normal, healthy people do not have constant tiredness or fatigue without a good reason. One's primary care doctor can follow along and look for reasons for fatigue, such as anemia, infection, mental illness, auto-immune disease, thyroid problems, cancer, insomnia, etc... Various tests may be needed, depending on one's whole story, and sequence of symptoms.
