Combating tiredness

Other reasons for being exhausted

Sometimes feeling tired is about more than too much socialising and not enough sleep. If you are suffering from any of the following symptoms you might be suffering from glandular fever, and should see your doctor for advice:1

  • sore throat
  • fever with a temperature of, or above, 37.5°C (99.5°F)
  • swollen lymph nodes in the neck or the armpit
  • fatigue
  • weakness
  • swollen tonsils
  • headache
  • loss of appetite
  • skin rash

In some cases, the tiredness associated with glandular fever could last months1. There is no cure for glandular fever, but the symptoms can be eased with painkillers, rest, and plenty of fluids.1

If you've been feeling tired for a while and don't seem to be able to shift it, despite catching up on your sleep and taking things a bit slowly for a while, it's always worth having a chat to your doctor. Sometimes over-tiredness is just down to doing too much - but there's always a possibility it could be a symptom of a medical condition.
