Fatigue without physical exertion is widespread among cancer patients. In cancer patients, fatigue is metabolic, mainly due to tissue damage and medications burdening the immune system.
In practice, a distinction can be made between four types of fatigue:
Muscle fatigue - (Muscles) Often due to the muscles' exertion (not necessarily aerobic). Such as holding a child in your arms and standing still.
Muscle fatigue is caused by lactic acid formation. Usually, the pain goes away within a few minutes.
Aerobic fatigue—(Heart & Lungs) Fatigue results from physical exertion, sports activities, climbing stairs, carrying loads, etc. It is often associated with high heart rate, rapid breathing, muscle aches, and sweating.
Aerobic exertion activates the heart and lungs, increasing the pulse and respiration rate. Sweating is a mechanism designed to cool the body.
Metabolic fatigue (Liver, kidney, Immune system) is often caused by a heavy meal or chronic diseases. One manifestation of metabolic fatigue is a desire to take a nap.
Metabolic fatigue is fatigue of the liver and kidneys that work very hard. The liver is the most energetic organ in the human body! The need for drowsiness reflects the direct connection between the liver and the eyes. (According to Chinese medicine)
Spiritual and mental fatigue (Brain and subconscious) usually occurs after unpleasant or traumatic events. Mental fatigue manifests as a poor mood, a tendency to outbursts, closure, and social distance.
The brain is energetic; unpleasant and traumatic events are often stored subconsciously (as part of the mind's defense mechanism). These processes impair the mood and the general energy level of the body.
