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, symptoms of fatigue that persist or repeat for more than 6 months are sometimes called ‘chronic fatigue.’ If you feel tired, should you always get a good rest? Is there anything 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 Disease Control and Prevention Agency, it refers to a disease that is one of the many factors that cause symptoms of chronic fatigue. In other words, chronic fatigue refers to the fatigue symptom itself, but chronic fatigue syndrome can be diagnosed according to a doctor’s strict 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 activity and remain at rest. However, that view is changing recently as research suggests that gradual aerobic exercise helps improve symptoms. Patients also tend to rest without exercising at all due to extreme fatigue. This can actually destroy muscle condition and worsen fatigue symptoms.
Recently, patients are encouraged to exercise to the extent possible. Of course, it cannot be applied uniformly to all patients because their physical conditions are different. Gradually increasing aerobic exercise such as walking, biking, 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 exercising for 5 to 15 minutes each time and gradually increase the time up to 30 minutes. If fatigue symptoms are severe, less intense exercise is necessary.
