Is it possible that fatigue can indicate a deficiency?
I know low iron levels can cause fatigue , but are there other vitamin or mineral deficiencies that can contribute to tiredness, fatigue?
Thank you for your answers! =)
I am healthy other than tiring easily. I have had test done before and everything checks out fine.
Insomnia Stress answers:
Yes having low potassium can also trigger fatigue.
I use to have dizzy spells and would feel like i couldnt breath so my doctor thought my sugar or blood pressure was low so they did some labs on me and it turned out i was having Low Potassium Levels.
They just told me to eat foods with alot of potassium.
I’ve been eating 1 banana everyday since that happened and i havent been having those feelings anymore.

David asks…
How early in pregnancy do you feel fatigue?
I ask b/c I have been feeling extremely tired for the past few days, yet, I can only manage 3 hours of sleep max, no matter how much I try to sleep. My period is due in the next few days, so I don’t even know if I’m pregnant–but I think I remember feeling fatigued very early on w/my first two children.
Oh goodness, I have been peeing a lot lately. This is not good.
Insomnia Stress answers:
I was that way from the very beginning. I didn’t realize I was preggers at the time since I hadn’t missed my period yet. I tested about 4 days after missing it, had a positive and then I understood why I was so tired. I remember I was working night shift, I would come home in the morning, sleep until dinner, then go back to sleep until I absolutely had to get ready for work. It was hard for me to stay awake even with all that sleep and I remember thinking “what in the heck was wrong with me?”. LOL

Maria asks…
What is causing my fatigue while running?
I run high school cross country and so far this season I have not been performing well. I hqve been running 5k times at least a minute slower than I was last year. Every race I have had a good start, until about the first mile where I start to feel fatigued, my legs gets heavy, and I am all around tired. What is causing this? How can I fix it?
Insomnia Stress answers:
You need to go out slower. A 5k race doesn’t start until after the first mile. That is when you see people dispersing and separating. If you go out too hard, you can ruin your race. However, you want to get a good position at the start so that you don’t have to spend your whole race passing people. Just go out hard ans settle into a pace that is “comfortably hard”. This means that you can hold it for much longer than 5k. You want to speed up when you have one mile left, and then have a strong finish.

Mandy asks…
Why do abdominals feel fatigued on oneside after having first time sex?
Last week I had first time sex with my boyfriend of two years (which I’m very excited about btw), but ever since 5 days ago I’ve been feeling fatigued on oneside of my stomach. We had protected sex of course, but the sex was kind of rough. What could be the cause of this and what can I do to feel better?
Insomnia Stress answers:
Your muscles on side of the trunk (abdomen) spend more energy from the exhaustive activity, and run of energy, causing you to feel fatigued on one side,,

Chris asks…
Can someone be admitted to the hospital for suspected adrenal fatigue?
I have an appt with my GP today and I really do suspect adrenal insufficiency. I have been to the ER numerous times and had EKGs and blood tests done but with no abnormalities.
However im extremely fatigued all the time and genuinely fear for my health. How can I convince my dr. to order an elective admission for observation and testing?
I honestly feel I need to be looked at more closely but dont know what it would take to convince the hospital.
Insomnia Stress answers:
Probably you would need to see a different doctor for that to happen. Also keep good records of how you feel. You might also want to read more about the term. The symptoms often associated with the term “adrenal fatigue” can be many things, and a common cause of the symptoms is a high level of stress in your life. Read here.
