what is lethargy ? what are cause of it and how can we overcome it?

mind dullness and lethargy are same?
LETHARGY OR fatigue is a weariness caused by exertion. It can describe a range of afflictions, varying from a general state of lethargy to a specific work-induced burning sensation within one's muscles. It can be both physical and mental.

Causes -

Fatigue is typically the result of working, mental stress, over stimulation and under stimulation, jet lag or active recreation, depression, and also boredom, disease and lack of sleep. It may also have chemical causes, such as poisoning or mineral or vitamin deficiencies. Massive blood loss, resulting in anemia, frequently results in fatigue.

The sense of fatigue is believed to originate in the reticular activating system of the lower brain. Musculoskeletal structures may have co-evolved with appropriate brain structures so that the complete unit functions together in a constructive and adaptive fashion. The entire systems of muscles, joints, and proprioceptive and kinesthetic functions plus parts of the brain evolve and function together in a unitary way.

Lethargy could just be an outward symptom of something more major. If in doubt, please conduct your doctor or other health professional.

Sometimes, we just feel lethargic. Maybe the "night before" took a toll on our body. Maybe there's been a change in the weather that our body's immune system has recognized.

Here are some simple steps that will usually help you to overcome your lethargy:

Check your diet. What we eat is important and if you're not getting the right range of vitamins and minerals in your food then your energy levels are likely to drop and you could start to feel lethargic.

Make sure you get a good night's rest. If you're in the habit of drinking alcohol before you go to sleep, give this a break for a few nights. Keep your caffeine levels down and don't drink caffeinated drinks after early evening (earlier if you can cope without your cola or coffee).

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water. Sometimes, lethargy is a sign of dehydration.

Take more exercise. This could be as simple as a brisk walk or a swim. Exercise increases our level of endorphins, which make our body feel good.

Check your weight. If you're overweight, this may be affecting your energy levels and turning you into a couch potato.

Is it just the time of year? In most of the western world, winter has less sunlight. Dark, damp wintry days can reduce your energy levels.

Keep your mind occupied. If you're wallowing in your lethargy then that won't be helping. Distract your mind. Give it something else to do. Watch a movie, listen to fast music, anything to take your mind off feeling lethargic.-

A slight bulge in the throat, mild depression, lethargy, thyroid tests normal, what is the reason?

---

Thyroid test vaules in the upper limits of normal. Is a second opinion necessary?
The bulge in the throat has been there for a long time. But lethargy and mild depression used to be rare symptoms, but is becoming common now.
I had a similar problem, so I will tell you my story(hope it helps and doesn't bore you to death). This all happened after I had my daughter...I don't know if pregnancy caused it or if it was just coincidental. I first found out about my enlarged thyroid when I was sick. I went to the doctor for being sick, and she told me my thyroid was enlarged and wanted to run tests. I had felt it, but it wasn't that large at the time, so I just thought it was a swollen gland from infection. I had my thyroid levels checked, and they were normal. I went to an endocrinologist and he checked my levels again...normal. At that time, he told me that my only option was to have it removed because he couldn't treat it with medicine if my levels were fine. It wasn't very noticeable then, and I couldn't bare the thought of having my throat cut(he also told me insurance would not cover it because they would consider it 'cosmetic'). Anyway, over the course of the next 2-3 yrs, it gradually grew bigger and bigger. I had my levels checked several more times and they were always normal. I finally went to a new doctor, and she immediately referred me to a surgeon. The first time I saw him, he said it needed to come out. He said the larger it gets, the more chance there is of getting cancer in it. He measured my thyroid and my left nodule was 6cm wide. In January of last year, I had my entire thyroid removed leaving nothing but my parathyroid glands. My thyroid had grown so large that it wrapped around my esophogus and surgery lasted 6 hrs. I now take thyroid replacement hormones daily. If it does not go down, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist. The scar is barely noticeable. They make the incision so that it fits right in with the wrinkles in your neck. I hope this gave you a little insight. By the way, I was never diagnosed with anything other than a simple 'goiter'.

I don't have any professional knowledge of this, but I believe that different people may possible have different ranges of what is 'normal' for their thyroid. I find it hard to believe that I had all of the above problems, and probably some I forgot to mention, and didn't have even slightly low/high thyroid levels. I would see another doctor, if not for the simple reason as this: my surgeon told me that the longer the goiter sits there(and keeps growing and growing)the more likely you are to get cancer in your thyroid. Good luck.  (+ info)

OTC meds for lethargy and nausea?

---

My boyfriend has been feeling weak and tired the past few days with nausea. This morning he started complaining about his neck being very stiff and painful (which may not be related) His appetite is still ok and he's using the bathroom as normal. But he's been sleeping a lot and feel nauseous when he's up and about. He also takes vitamins regularly and has been drinking plenty of fluids.

Any suggestions for what could be going on or any suggestions for an over the counter medication to treat the lethargy and nausea?
With the neck stiffness, I think he might want to consider seeing a doctor. If he is unable to touch his chin to his chest without severe pain in his neck, he needs to be checked for meningitis. This could just be a virus but there is no way of knowing this without some tests being done. He should be taking some tylenol or ibuprofen for the neck discomfort. Leave the nausea and lethargy alone - clear liquids will take care of that and it will go away on its own. Rest will help him get well faster - his body is trying to tell him this by the lethargy.  (+ info)

Diabetes - Why is Lethargy one of the main symptoms for hypoglycaemia?

---

Hypoglycemia is a condition where there is not enough sugar in your blood. Blood sugar is the most readily available fuel for your body to use in exercise. It seems natural that people who do not have enough fuel in their blood would tend to be less active/ lethargic.
