Fatigue often occurs after a period of long-term stress which a stressful event or period of time may create what is  known as our fight or flight response.

Many are aware of that adrenalin rush triggered from  acute stress. The problem here is,  when you are constantly stressed, or in fight or flight,  the adrenal glands (located on top of the kidneys) release a stress hormone, called cortisol and continual cortisol production has negative effects on the body, one very common one - fatigue. 

We often associate stress as something that only happens when we are rushed, angry or feeling on edge with work or family life, however stress on the body can be anything from infection, Inflammation, sleep deprivation and chemical exposure.
