Symptom is a common complaint and can be linked to various health problems.
Stress and worries of everyday life also leave the patient weak.

Feeling weak by poor sleep or not eating right is normal, but the weakness can also be a symptom of more serious health problems such as anemia, hormonal problems or even depression, as explained in the endocrinologist Alfredo Halpern Welfare this Wednesday Thursday (24).

However, despite all these possible causes, the weakness is most commonly caused by difficult problems to be diagnosed by examination, as little time for leisure and rest, stress and worries of everyday life. According to the general practice of Dulce Pereira Brito, all of these factors can consume the energies of the patient and leave you weak - so to hear the complaint of weakness, the doctor must make a long investigation to find out why.

In the case of food, bad habits can leave the patient with the lack of some important nutrient for health, such as glucose, iron, vitamin B 12 or even water. In the case of iron deficiency or vitamin B 12, anemia can occur, which gives, besides the weakness also paleness, weak nails and breathlessness on small efforts. Because of the menstruation when the blood loss is more severe, anemia is more common in women. 

Therefore, maintaining a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates and proteins, is essential for maintaining strong, healthy and prepared as recommended endocrinologist Alfredo Halpern. There is also the need to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, dizziness and weakness - the trick is to eat also fruits that can moisturize the body, such as apple, orange, tangerine and watermelon.

In relation to depression, weakness can happen that the level of serotonin, a hormone that gives welfare is low in the body and brain - as if the region is responsible for leaving the patient was excited disabled. To identify the onset of depression, it is important to understand whether, over the past 15 days, the person has been feeling weak and discouraged and have lost the pleasure in activities you used to enjoy performing.

In this case, besides having good eating habits, it is also important physical activity that gives pleasure and disposal because of the release of endorphins, a hormone that fights pain. Therefore, the exercises are extremely effective not only for those who have depression, but also for those who are just sad, especially if done in the morning.

There is also the possibility of weakness to be related to hormonal problems, since the hormone is essential to perform metabolic functions. For example, the lack of testosterone in men, estrogen in women and also of thyroid hormones may leave the patient lethargic, sleepy and even promote weight gain, as explained endocrinologist Alfredo Halpern.

If the weakness is related to sleep problems, it is also important to know what may be affecting the person at bedtime. For example, sleep apnea, insomnia or even restless legs syndrome can disrupt sleep and make it difficult for the body to gain strength for the next day. The tip of doctors to sleep well is to avoid foods that have caffeine at night and turn off lights in the room, since light is a stimulus to the brain, which is struggling to fall asleep. Furthermore, it is important to keep out of the room problems, fears, anxieties and everything that can disrupt sleep.
