Anyone can feel tired. This is a common symptom in everyday life. It can recover on its own when you rest, so there are times when you neglect it. Regardless of the cause, tiredness symptoms that persist or recur for more than six months are sometimes called “chronic fatigue.” If you feel tired, should you always get a good rest? Is there something wrong with my body?
Chronic fatigue vs chronic fatigue syndrome
There is a medical term called “chronic fatigue syndrome”. According to data from the Korea Agency for Disease Control and Prevention, it is a disease that is one of many factors that cause symptoms of chronic fatigue. In other words, chronic fatigue refers to the symptom of fatigue itself, but chronic fatigue syndrome can be diagnosed according to strict medical criteria. Patients complaining of chronic fatigue are very common, but patients who actually meet the criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome are rare.
I’m tired, but exercise?… If you just rest, your muscles will break down.
In the past, the general trend was to recommend that patients with chronic fatigue syndrome avoid strenuous physical activities and remain at rest. However, this view is changing recently as research suggests that gradual aerobic exercise may help improve symptoms. Patients also tend to rest without exercising due to extreme tiredness. This could actually destroy your muscle condition and make your fatigue symptoms worse.
Recently, patients are encouraged to exercise as much as possible. Of course, it cannot be applied uniformly to all patients because their physical conditions are different. Gradually increasing aerobic activity such as walking, cycling and swimming can help patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. Exercise 5 days a week for at least 12 weeks. Depending on your physical condition, you can continue to exercise for 5-15 minutes each time and gradually increase the time up to 30 minutes. If fatigue symptoms are severe, less intense exercise is needed.
