White collar workers often feel tired, but what is fatigue? Are you suffering from chronic fatigue? Do a simple self-test to get the answer. Under normal circumstances, after a round of intense work, one night’s sleep can restore one’s full energy. However, when such a method suddenly fails, even if you sleep for more time, it will not work, then you are likely to suffer from “chronic fatigue syndrome”.
Main symptoms
The main symptoms of “chronic fatigue syndrome” are: fatigue, insomnia, tinnitus, forgetfulness, backache, etc. It is characterized by recurrent symptoms lasting for more than 6 months, which can not be relieved even after full rest, and symptoms such as mild fever, sore throat, reduced concentration and weakness of the whole body will also occur, which will lead to malignant chain reactions such as dysregulation of hormone metabolism, abnormal regulation of nervous system and reduced immunity. If not treated in time, it may lead to more serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and even “death from overwork”.
Excessive staying up late and working overtime
Medical statistics show that white-collar workers are the “high-risk group” of chronic fatigue syndrome. Due to overload work and surprise tasks, white-collar workers often work overtime, eat irregularly, and have too much nightlife and bad rest, which will lead to long-term health overdraft and chronic fatigue syndrome. In addition, in the face of many competitions and challenges from work and life, white-collar workers maintain a sense of urgency in spirit for a long time, with increasing pressure and anxiety, psychological fatigue and negative emotions lingering, thus falling into a “sub-health state”.
Relevant experts say that rest in the real sense can not be equated with sleep, because excessive sleep will reduce the metabolism of the body, resulting in further decline of human activity and stronger fatigue. Therefore, experts suggest that it is better to start taking a nap at 1 pm and go to bed at 10 to 11 pm in the evening. The best time to get up is from 5:00 to 6:00 in the morning.
The concept of rest includes physical and psychological relaxation and adjustment, and doing more exercise to improve physical fitness is the positive way to improve.
Muscle weakness
During this period, when Xiaolin woke up in the morning, he always felt that his muscles were weak and weak. This has happened in the past, but it would be better to do a little exercise. But recently, this feeling of “muscle weakness” is particularly strong, and I feel very tired every day.
It is understood that muscle pain occurs mostly in women between the ages of 20 and 50. This situation may be caused by trauma or psychology. Its symptoms are stiffness in the morning, mainly in the neck, shoulder, back and buttocks, and sometimes itching.
Therefore, experts remind that when encountering regular headache, muscle pain, insomnia and other problems, we must go to the hospital for early examination and treatment. In addition, prevention is important to avoid fatigue syndrome. Choosing sports such as swimming and walking can improve muscle strength and flexibility and reduce muscle pain. And heat therapy and massage can also play a role in relaxing for a short time.
A bad “cold”
Ma Yan suffered from “hot cold”. Because she always felt tired, she took a rest at home for a period of time, but after a week or two, there was still no improvement. “Hot cold” recurred and could not be cured.
Experts say that because the symptoms of “chronic fatigue syndrome” are very similar to those of a cold, many people think that they can get better by paying attention to rest. In fact, “chronic fatigue syndrome” is a very dangerous modern disease. We must not diagnose and treat ourselves. Instead, we should seek medical treatment in time, so that doctors can take comprehensive measures such as drugs and dietotherapy according to their situation to improve immunity, strengthen physique and ultimately promote recovery.
