Fatigue often results from lack of sleep, demands on you or recovery after illness. Persistent or unexplained fatigue can also be associated with a physical or mental health problem.
- You have less physical or mental energy than usual.
- Concentrating, remembering or making decisions takes more effort.
- Keep regular times for getting up and going to bed, including at weekends.
- Build up gentle daily movement gradually without repeatedly exceeding your limits.
- Arrange an appointment if fatigue persists, worsens or clearly limits daily functioning.
- For urgent GP care outside office hours, call HAP 9252. Call Ambulance 912 only for an immediate threat to life.
