Chronic Fatigue

Tips from survivors: “I stopped fighting the fatigue — planning around it made life easier.”

Persistent, long-lasting exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest.

Constant tiredness, low energy throughout the day, difficulty completing even simple tasks, and needing frequent breaks.

Stroke forces the brain and body to work harder, and factors like disrupted sleep, stress, and other side effects can worsen fatigue.

Very common — many stroke survivors experience ongoing fatigue months or even years after stroke.

Energy pacing, prioritizing tasks, regular rest, light exercise, and managing sleep and mental health.
