2. Fatigue
Many people who are suffering from amyloidosis report feelings of fatigue. They may also suffer from periodic weakness. Anytime there is a strain on the body, it can result in fatigue and weakness. Amyloidosis can affect one or more organs in the body. When your organs don’t function right, blood flow can be reduced, and the brain and heart may not get enough oxygen. This can cause the body to be strained and lead to severe fatigue.
When you don’t feel well, you may expect to feel tired, but when that fatigue becomes chronic or if you are getting plenty of sleep and rest and still feel overly tired, it could be a sign that something is wrong. Fatigue can be a symptom of many other illnesses and is not a sign of Amyloidosis on its own. Talk to your doctor if you are struggling with fatigue to ensure a proper diagnosis.
