Tired All The Time: Causes, Consequences and Cures - Hardcover

by David H. Dighton (Author)

Why do we get tired from time to time? Why are some 'Tired All the Time'?

Why do some progress further - to fatigue and exhaustion, and suffer medical consequences?For 50-years I have dealt with medical and cardiac patients complaining of these problems, and within I explain:

• The Causes: Few have a medical cause, so is it stress, strain, constitution or our mental energy spending that affects us? I have introduced two concepts - 'The Life Equation' and the 'Traffic Analysis Theory of Tiredness' - to aid understanding.
• The Consequences: From trivial to catastrophic (from worsening eczema to sudden heart attacks and strokes). The 'Health Divide' is a major problem in all societies. Why are the rich healthier than the poor, and why do they live longer? Find many reasons within.
• The Cures: Restorative sleep, sleep therapy, medication, meditation, yoga and prayer.

Energy is essential for healthy survival and for achieving success in life. In this book, I reveal the detailed reasons why most people suffer tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion, and how they can be overcome. As a cardiologist I have seen both chronic fatigue ruin lives, and ruined lives cause fatigue. By considering tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion as potentially serious, doctors can limit clinical risk, reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms, improve angina and blood pressure, blood coagulation and immune responses - and sometimes save a life! Unfortunately, few doctors now have the time or inclination to explore the reasons why their patients get tired all the time - especially given causes that mostly lie beyond their remit - to diagnose and treat physical and mental illness.
