Fatigue can begin suddenly or gradually. It is a normal symptom if it follows prolonged physical or mental activity and disappears completely with rest. However, it can be a symptom of a medical condition if it is prolonged, severe, progressive or occurs without cause.
Physical fatigue is the transient inability of muscles to maintain optimal physical performance and is exacerbated by intense physical exertion. Mental fatigue is a transient decline in maximum cognitive performance resulting from prolonged periods of cognitive activity. Mental fatigue may manifest as drowsiness, lethargy or focused attention fatigue.
Fatigue and "feelings of fatigue" are sometimes confused. Unlike weakness, fatigue can usually be relieved by periods of rest.
Treatment BeterKlinic
BeterKliniek is the clinic for Integrative Medicine that bridges regular and non-regular medicine.
An van Veen (physician) and Michael van Gils (therapist) look for the cause of a condition or disease. That is where the treatment starts otherwise, as people often say, it is 'carrying water to the sea'. We call this cause medicine. Sometimes it is also desirable to treat the symptoms (at the same time). We call this symptom medicine.
Chronic disorders often have their cause in epi- genetics. You can schedule a free informative telephone consultation (phone number 040-7117337 until 1 p.m.) at BeterKliniek to discuss your symptoms so that we can provide you with further advice.
