Fatigue
View through CrossRef
Fatigue is a term used to describe an inability to sustain physical or mental effort. It should be distinguished from weakness, which is an inability to generate normal muscular strength. Fatigue is a natural signal to reduce or stop physical activity, but also a common subjective experience which may escalate to a significant health complaint as either a primary or a secondary (or supporting) symptom to an existing condition. Fatigue is the one of the commonest symptoms experienced by the general population. Approximately 25% of patients attending their GP complain of fatigue. However, only 10%–15% of these patients will receive a diagnosis of a physical cause for the fatigue. This chapter covers the differential diagnosis of fatigue, as well as key diagnostic tests, therapies, and prognosis.
