Major Symptoms Of Hepatitis C

Chronic Fatigue

Fatigue is defined as feeling a lack of energy or persistent extreme tiredness even when adequate sleep (e.g. eight hours a night) is achieved. It is quite different than feeling tired after tossing and turning throughout the night or only getting four hours. Although many individuals seek medical advice due to chronic fatigue, which is often due to lack of hydration, this symptom may also indicate hepatitis C. It's suggested that approximately fifty to seventy percent of hepatitis C patients experience some form of chronic fatigue. Although more research needs to be conducted, researchers believe fatigue stems from the body trying to fight the infection. That said, other studies suggest fatigue is due to liver damage.
