What should I do if I have kidney disease and always feel weak and exhausted?

1. Adjust your work and rest schedule

Ensure adequate and regular sleep, and try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Establish a fixed schedule, such as going to bed around 10 pm and getting up around 6 am, so that the body can form a good biological clock. You can arrange a short rest during the day, such as a 30-minute nap, to help restore energy, but it is not advisable to take a nap for too long, so as not to affect the quality of sleep at night.

2. Moderate exercise

Choose a form of exercise that suits your physical condition, such as walking. You can take a 20-30 minute walk half an hour after a meal every day, at a pace that you feel comfortable with. You can also try soothing exercises such as Tai Chi, 3-4 times a week, 30 minutes each time. Moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness, improve blood circulation, and reduce fatigue, but be careful to avoid overexertion.

3. Diet adjustment

Increase the intake of foods rich in high-quality protein, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, beans, etc., but pay attention to controlling the amount and taking it in a reasonable amount according to the condition and doctor's advice. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins and minerals. For example, eat 1 apple and 1 banana every day to ensure sufficient nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium. At the same time, control the intake of salt and water to avoid edema that aggravates fatigue symptoms.

4. Cooperation with treatment

Strictly follow the doctor's treatment plan and take medicine on time. If the fatigue is caused by anemia, you may need to use drugs such as erythropoietin for treatment; if it is caused by electrolyte imbalance, it should be adjusted in time. Regularly review various indicators, such as blood routine, renal function, etc., and adjust treatment measures according to the examination results.

5. Psychological Adjustment

It is very important to maintain a positive attitude. You can relieve psychological stress by chatting with family and friends, listening to music, reading books, etc. Avoid excessive anxiety due to illness, because anxiety will increase the feeling of fatigue. For example, spend half an hour every day listening to some soothing music to relax your body and mind.
