Medical experts warn against ignoring persistent fatigue

Medical experts from Medical Point Gaziantep Hospital are warning that persistent fatigue and exhaustion should not always be attributed to seasonal changes or busy lifestyles.

Hematology specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ali Eser notes that while autumn weather changes can impact energy levels, prolonged fatigue may indicate anemia. Symptoms of anemia can include shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, palpitations, and difficulty concentrating due to reduced oxygen transport to tissues.

Endocrinology specialist Dr. Ümit Çınkır emphasizes that fatigue persisting despite adequate rest may signal underlying hormonal or metabolic issues. Specifically, thyroid disorders and diabetes can manifest as chronic tiredness, weight changes, and sleep disturbances. Experts advise individuals to seek medical investigation if exhaustion interferes with daily activities.
