11種導致疲勞的醫(yī)學方面的原因

Everyone gets tired now and then but if you constantly feel worn out or your tiredness is severe, it could be a sign of a more serious health problem.

每個人都會時不時的感到勞累，但如果你一直感到筋疲力竭或累的很嚴重，它可能是更多嚴重的健康問題的標志。

We reveal 11 health conditions that are known to cause fatigue.

我們將揭示11種引起疲勞的健康狀況。

1 iron deficiency anaemia

1 缺鐵性貧血

Iron deficiency anaemia is one of the most common medical reasons for feeling constantly run down. Affecting around one in 20 men and post-menopausal women, it’s more common in pregnant women and those who are still having periods, especially if they are heavy.

缺鐵性貧血是最常見的感到持續(xù)無力的醫(yī)學原因之一。大約每20個男人和更年期婦女中有一個會受到影響，在孕婦和待孕的尤其是那些偏胖的人中更常見。

It can be diagnosed with a blood test. Eating iron-rich foods, such as red meat, shellfish and iron-fortified cereals, or taking iron supplements can help.

這種疾病能被血樣測試診斷。吃富含鐵的食物，例如熟肉，水生有殼動物和提高鐵營養(yǎng)價值的谷物，或提供鐵有助于減少疲勞。

2 chronic fatigue syndrome

2 長期疲勞癥狀

If your fatigue has lasted for six months or more and is so severe that you can’t manage daily tasks, chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as myalgic encephalopathy or ME) could be to blame. Along with persistent, unexplained exhaustion, other symptoms include a sore throat, muscle or joint pain and headaches.

如果你的疲勞感長達六個月或更多，并且它是如此嚴重以至于你不能成功完成日常任務，長期的疲勞癥狀(也被了解為慢性疲勞癥)應當視為罪魁禍首。伴隨著持續(xù)的狀況，無法解釋的筋疲力盡，其它癥狀包括喉嚨痛，肌肉或關節(jié)痛和頭痛。

There is no test for ME but there are clear guidelines to help doctors diagnose it. While there is no cure or medication, lifestyle changes may help.

對于慢性疲勞癥無法測試，但清晰的條目有助于醫(yī)生診斷它。然而沒有藥方或藥，生活方式的改變或許會起作用。

3 gluten

3 谷蛋白

This is a type of food intolerance where the body wrongly believes gluten is attacking it, resulting in damage to the lining of the gut. For coeliacs, eating even the smallest crumb of gluten (found in things like bread, cakes and pasta) can cause tiredness along with bloating, diarrhoea, nausea, muscle pain and headaches.

這是一種身體完全不能接受的食物類型，身體錯誤的認為是谷蛋白在襲擊它，導致腸道線的損壞。對于腹腔，吃甚至是最少量的谷蛋白碎屑(在食物中能夠發(fā)現，例如面包，蛋糕和意大利面)能導致疲勞伴隨著腫脹，腹瀉，作嘔，肌肉痛和頭痛。

It can be diagnosed with a blood test. There is no medication - the only treatment is to follow a strict gluten-free diet for life.

它能被血樣測試診斷。無需藥物——唯一的治療方式是在生活中遵循嚴格的無谷蛋白的飲食。

4 Sleep apnoea

4 睡眠呼吸暫停

Sleep apnoea is a condition where a person stops breathing between loud snores. These pauses in breathing happen when the airways narrow or close completely, depriving the lungs of oxygen. When the brain detects dangerously low levels of oxygen, it automatically wakes the sufferer, so they can return to normal breathing.

睡眠呼吸暫停指人在很大的鼾聲中停止呼吸的狀況。呼吸暫停的情況往往在氣流狹窄或完全關閉的情況下發(fā)生，剝奪肺部的氧氣，當大腦發(fā)現氧氣量處于危險的低水平的時候，會自動地叫醒睡著的人，因此它們會返回正常的呼吸狀態(tài)。

Most common in overweight, middle aged men, those with the condition are at increased risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. For many sufferers, the only sign is feeling exhausted the next day. Breathing machines worn at night, plus lifestyle changes, can help.

最常見的體重偏胖見于中年男子，伴隨著中風，心血管疾病和高血壓增加的危險。對于許多患者，唯一的標志是第二天感到筋疲力竭。晚上戴上氧氣罩，加上改變生活方式有助于緩解這種狀況。

5 thyroid hormone

5 甲狀腺荷爾蒙

People with an underactive thyroid gland have too little thyroid hormone (thyroxine) in their body, which results in tiredness. Other symptoms include weight gain, aching muscles, depression, sensitivity to the cold and dry skin and hair.

擁有不活躍甲狀腺的人會在它們的身體中產生過少的甲狀腺荷爾蒙，導致人的疲勞。其它癥狀包括體重增加，肌肉痛，抑郁，對冷和干皮膚和頭發(fā)的敏感。

It’s most common in women and you’re more at risk the older you are. Your doctor can diagnose the condition with a blood test. It can be treated with daily hormone tablets.

這種狀況在女人中最常見，你的年齡越大你患病的風險越高。醫(yī)生會通過血樣測試診斷你的情況。每天吃荷爾蒙藥片能治療這種疾病。

6 diabetes

6 糖尿病

One of the main symptoms of diabetes is fatigue, along with excessive thirst and urination. Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity and is more common in older people. Type 1 diabetes is far less common and occurs when the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin. It usually occurs before the age of 40, often during teenage years.

糖尿病的主要癥狀是疲勞，伴隨著極度口渴和經常性的小便。第二種類型的糖尿病和肥胖有關，在老年人中更普遍。第一種類型的糖尿病更不常見，當身體的免疫系統(tǒng)襲擊或摧毀細胞的時候會產生胰島素。這種情況通常在40歲之前發(fā)生，在青少年時期。

Diabetes is diagnosed with a blood test. Insulin injections and a healthy eating plan can help.

糖尿病被血樣測試診斷。胰島素注射和健康的飲食計劃有助于病情的恢復。

7 viral infection

7 病毒傳染

This common viral infection causes severe tiredness along with fever, sore throat and swollen glands. Most cases occur in teenagers and young adults. It is spread through saliva and can be passed by kissing, exposure to coughs and sneezes, or sharing things like cups.

這種普遍的病毒傳染導致了嚴重的疲勞，喉嚨痛和腫的甲狀腺。大多數案例發(fā)生在青少年和年輕的成年人中。通過唾液傳播，親吻傳遞，暴露在咳嗽和打噴嚏的人群中，或者分享東西例如杯子。

While most symptoms tend to clear up within four to six weeks, the fatigue can last for several more months. It can be diagnosed with a physical examination and blood test. Painkillers are generally prescribed to relieve pain and reduce fever.

盡管大多數癥狀傾向于在四到六周內消失，疲勞會持續(xù)更多月份。它可以通過物理檢測和血樣測試診斷。通常會開止痛藥來減輕疼痛減少發(fā)燒。

8 Depression

8 抑郁

Depression doesn’t just make you feel sad. It can cause physical symptoms too, from aches and pains to tiredness. People with depression often feel drained of energy and find it hard to drop off to sleep or wake up during the night.

抑郁不僅會使你感到悲傷。它也會導致物理的癥狀，從疼痛到疲勞。抑郁的人經常感到沒有力量并覺得在夜間很難入睡或醒來。

Talking therapies, lifestyle changes and medication may help.

話語治療，生活方式的改變和藥物會有幫助。

9 anxiety

9 憤怒

Like depression, anxiety can cause disturbed sleep. If you can’t remember the last time you didn’t feel anxious or your anxiety feels uncontrollable, your doctor may diagnose you with generalised anxiety disorder (or GAD). Other symptoms include restlessness, irritability and difficulty concentrating.

正如抑郁，憤怒會導致睡眠困擾。如果你不記得最后一次你沒有感到焦慮或你的氣憤令人難以控制，你的醫(yī)生會診斷你為廣泛性焦慮癥(或GAD).其它癥狀包括坐立不安，憤怒和難以集中注意力。

Again, talking therapies, lifestyle changes and medication may help.

再一次的，談話治療，改變生活方式和藥物會起作用。

10 Restless legs syndrome

10 多動腿綜合癥

Restless legs syndrome is a common condition affecting the nervous system. Sufferers experience an uncomfortable feeling in their legs, often felt as a crawling or creeping sensation, which keeps them awake at night. An overwhelming urge to keep moving the legs, a deep ache, or legs that jerk spontaneously disrupts sleep and causes tiredness.

多動腿綜合癥是影響神經系統(tǒng)的一個普遍的狀況。患者會體驗到腿部的不舒服的感覺，就像是有東西在腿上爬，會使患者在晚上痛醒。壓倒性的盡力使腿部移動，疼痛感會加重或者腿不由自主地抽搐會影響睡眠并導致疲勞。

Depending on the severity of symptoms, lifestyle changes or medication may be offered.

取決于癥狀的嚴重性，改變生活方式，可能提供藥物。

11 Multiple sclerosis (MS)

11 多發(fā)性硬化癥

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition affecting the transfer of nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of symptoms, from problems with muscle movement and balance to loss of vision (usually only in one eye) and serve tiredness.

多發(fā)性硬化癥是一種自動免疫狀況，影響神經信號在大腦和脊髓的傳輸，導致了許多不同的癥狀，從肌肉移動和平衡問題到視力的損失(通常只有一只眼睛)和神經疲勞。

Diagnosing MS is complicated and may require referral to a neurologist. There is currently no cure but treatments including medication and physiotherapy may help.

治療多發(fā)性硬化癥是復雜的，可能需要參考神經醫(yī)生的建議。目前無法治愈，但是治療包括藥物，理療可能起作用。
