Common Stress & Anxiety Symptoms
Common Causes & Triggers
Fatigue & Low Energy
Stress and anxiety may be associated with difficulty relaxing, racing thoughts, poor sleep, irritability, muscle tension, headaches, increased awareness of heartbeat, digestive changes, difficulty concentrating, or a persistent feeling of being overwhelmed.
Symptoms may be influenced by work pressure, poor sleep, prolonged mental stress, major life changes, irregular routines, lack of recovery time, excessive screen use, physical tension, or other health and lifestyle factors.
Fatigue may involve persistent tiredness, reduced motivation, difficulty concentrating, poor recovery, or feeling exhausted despite rest.
Fatigue can have many possible causes, including sleep problems, stress, nutritional deficiencies, medication effects, hormonal or metabolic conditions, and other medical issues. Persistent or unexplained fatigue should be medically assessed.
