Chronic Fatigue
Feeling tired is normal in a fast paced society. But if you continuously feel fatigued or are experiencing drowsiness, lethargy, and cannot get enough rest, you could have liver damage. In fact, it is common for those with liver disease to experience mental and muscle weakness, mental confusion, and even coma. The latter happens when liver disease progresses towards total liver failure.
Research has noted that fatigue and exhaustion is a common symptom of liver damage and is one of the symptoms that will impact daily life. Unfortunately, while this is known, research has yet to say why people get chronic fatigue. It is believed that there are changes in brain chemistry and hormones resulting from the damaged liver. This means that altered levels of noradrenaline, serotonin, and corticotropins encourage depleted energy levels.
