Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disorder characterized by a deep and persistent tiredness that does not improve with rest and that significantly interferes with everyday activities.
Frequent symptoms: exhaustion that worsens after exertion, unrefreshing sleep, muscle or joint pain, difficulty concentrating, and headache.
What makes it particular: it usually requires ruling out other causes of fatigue before identifying it, since there is no single test that confirms it.
Which specialist treats it? The internist can coordinate the general evaluation and the general practitioner can guide the first contact; when there is a significant emotional component, the psychiatrist provides support. If the tiredness persists for a long time and limits your daily life, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional.
