Symptom #8: Fatigue and Hypotension
Fatigue occurs when there is an overall lack of energy and tiredness. Individuals who are fatigued usually have no motivation or energy. Individuals who experience fatigue may appear to be sleepy or drowsy. It is a common symptom that can be seen in various conditions or situations. Examples include dehydration, inadequate sleep, and stress.
Hypotension or low blood pressure can be defined as having a systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of less than 60 mmHg. Both fatigue and hypotension may occur among kidney failure patients due to anemia, attributed to low levels of erythropoietin.
