Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Have you chalked your constant headaches and chronic fatigue up to being commonplace? Well, it may be true that a lot of your friends and family are experiencing the same conditions as you are, but that doesn’t make it normal.

Chronic fatigue and constant headache are very common issues, but they’re issues that lifestyle changes can help correct. That’s right. You can solve your problems without needing to set foot in the doctor’s office.

The first step towards addressing these problems is to understand the causes of fatigue and headaches. While they may be signs or symptoms or a more serious condition, the likely causes are pretty simple.
