August 29, 2023 : Thinking About Fatigue
© 安岡喜晴 (JoyShine)
I woke up, looked at the clock and saw that it was 15 minutes later than usual!
I thought I had to be in a super hurry and I acted very quickly and made it to work at the same time as usual.
Thank goodness. I can do it if I try! I thought.
Today was a tough morning. Although the number of patients I had to see was not so different from yesterday,
even though I went to bed earlier than yesterday,
even though I slept more than yesterday,
but somehow I felt more tired than yesterday.
Is it just a matter of whether I feel it or not?
Even if you have pain, it doesn't always mean that something is wrong with you.
In other words, the essence of pain is whether you feel it or not.
Once, when I was doing home visits for more than 200 families, I realized this so strongly.
Even if you have back pain and are examined, often nothing can be found.
(Of course, there may be something wrong, so an examination is necessary.)
Likewise, even if you feel that there is something there and you have an examination, it often turns out that there is nothing there.
For example, a patient who complains that there must be something wrong with the throat,
but in most cases nothing is found after a detailed examination (globus sensation),
the same pattern is often seen with palpitations,
a feeling of a loud heartbeat, a momentary blockage in the chest, or a skipping pulse, most of the time it's just a feeling or not,
on the contrary, if the palpitations are felt as a rapid heartbeat, we should be careful;
If they last more than a few minutes, consider the possibility that some kind of treatment may be needed;
and if symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain or fainting are present,
consider the need for some kind of treatment first.
If you're feeling tired or fatigued, you might want to find out if you're just feeling it or not,
and then consider the possibility that something is wrong with your health.
Coenzyme Q10 is a coenzyme needed to produce ATP, which is used as the body's energy currency.
The total amount of coenzyme Q10 decreases with age, but it can be taken orally into the body.
Moderate fatigue-reducing effects are observed.
Imidazole dipeptide is abundantly distributed in the pectoral muscles of birds.
Birds can flap their wings over long, long oceans without resting.
It is said that the source of their endurance is this amino acid, and clinical studies have shown that it is highly effective in relieving fatigue.
Imidazole dipeptide: Very high effect is observed.
Coenzyme Q10: Slightly high effect is observed.
Caffeine : No effect is observed, just makes you feel less tired.
Taurine : No effect is observed.
I think I'll take imidazole dipeptide. lol
Anyway, I don't know why, but I felt too tired today and fell asleep at my desk after work.
Why...maybe it's due to the sudden temperature changes?
