Cancer Symptoms Men Might Miss
Fatigue is often the result of something benign like a poor night of sleep. However, constant fatigue is not a normal aspect of aging, and feeling tired for extended periods of time is certainly not an issue to ignore. Indeed, chronic fatigue can be an early symptom of a more serious health condition, including multiple sclerosis, depression, heart disease, leukemia and colon or stomach cancer. Whether fatigue is its own issue or the result of another condition, it can negatively affect your work and home life and warrants a visit to the doctor.
