Tired and sleepy during the day
People with cardiovascular disease often feel tired and exhausted many times a day, even when they just wake up. This is because the heart is not working efficiently, so it cannot supply enough oxygen to the body, making you tired and sluggish. Fatigue can be viewed as the inability to continue to function at the level of a normal healthy person. One of the cardiovascular causes of this phenomenon is heart failure.
In addition, patients may also experience sleep disturbances and always feel sleepy during the day. This condition is often caused by difficulty sleeping, insomnia, or sleep apnea at night. Frequent feelings of fatigue or sleepiness are not typically associated with cardiovascular disease and may be present in many other conditions. So, if you have these symptoms, contact your doctor to get tested and determine the specific cause.
