Why does hay fever make me so exhausted?
Hay fever can make you feel exhausted due to the body's immune response to allergens, which requires energy. The inflammation and irritation caused by this response can lead to fatigue. Additionally, disrupted sleep from symptoms like nasal congestion can further contribute to tiredness.
Key points:
- Immune response to allergens consumes energy.
- Inflammation and irritation can lead to fatigue.
- Sleep disruption from symptoms reduces rest quality.
- Psychological stress from ongoing symptoms may contribute to exhaustion.
