10 Symptoms of Sarcoidosis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Fatigue
Fatigue affects about 80% of patients with sarcoidosis. In some cases, fatigue can be so debilitating that patients have difficulty completing simple daily functions and working. Unfortunately family members or friends don’t always take it seriously. These factors can lead to a poor quality of life.
Lifestyle changes, healthy diet, good sleeping habits, regular physical exercise and weight reduction can help improve sarcoidosis related fatigue in many cases. However, as there is no test by which fatigue can be measured, it can be quite difficult to explain to others the level of fatigue a sarcoidosis patient experiences.
