Fatigue
Fatigue is periods of general tiredness and a lack of energy that fail to resolve after rest or periods of sleep. Often referred to as physical malaise, fatigue is a common symptom of pulmonary fibrosis. Many of those with pulmonary fibrosis say that fatigue is the hardest symptom to deal with.
Decreased blood oxygen levels likely contribute to the fatigue experienced by those with pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, depression and anxiety may also contribute to fatigue.5Özkaya, Özge.
