3. Fatigue
Why am I so tired all the time?
Conditions like insomnia will place further demand on your nervous system, and it is possible that you could develop adrenal fatigue. This sleep disorder will create a negative feedback loop. As the condition worsens, you will feel exhausted but can’t seem to fall asleep no matter how hard you try. Instead, you will toss and turn all night, incapable of drifting off. If the situation is left untreated, you eventually risk becoming so burned out that you can no longer perform essential motor skill functions such as picking up the phone.
Misdiagnosis of excessive adrenal fatigue is common in the initial stages of recovery from a concussion. It’s logical to assume that you may feel down or tired after taking an injury to the head. Persistent fatigue that does not improve but instead continues to diminish energy levels further is a symptom of mTBI.
