Fatigue refers to the problem of being too tired or too exhausted.
This is common for all, which may happen at some times, but if this happens too often, then the causes of fatigue need to be understood and treatment taken.
A recent article (see-link) cites 10 causes of fatigue as follows.

May I add one point: primary hypotension, too low blood pressure, not neccesary coupled to heart or another disease.

I would like to add that when I stopped eating sugar (I am not a diabetic) my energy level went up substantially. Earlier, I used to feel quite some fatigue after I reach home after finishing work at the workplace. Now I am able to work continuously after reaching home.
Dear Debi,
good observation. One explanation could be that your body produces a lot of insulin spontaneoulsly after consuming free sugar and as consequence you fall into a sugar deficit after a while. If consuming bound sugar like in fruits, bread etc you avoid this overshooting effect.

Eminent friends:
Are hypertension and fatigue related? Kindly share your views - thanks!
Hypertension and fatigue can be correlated, but must not be. Very frequent hypertension shows no symptoms.
Another cause of fatigue is inhaling CO " carbon monoxide" gas . This gas results upon the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels (petroleum & its products), natural gas, and coal. CO can be lethal if one inhales too much of the gas. As it is well-known, man was more active in the 19th century & before than man of the 20th century & beyond up to this decade. CO complexes (more favorably than oxygen) with hemoglobin affecting blood purification & circulation .
Well, the causes of fatigue, I thing is too much work! Take your wife or better a nice girl, go for some week to a beautiful island and you will see that fatigue will disappear. On the other hand if you felling fatigue not because you work too hard then you need to go to your doctor!
Dear Sundarapandian,
I find myself in full agreement with Costas. Many illnesses do cause fatigue as most have addressed. I will only add social justice work and advocacy work and fighting for the marginalized and disadvantaged against the relentless assaults by the privileged is also a major factor in creating fatigue.
