There are no guidelines for preventing chronic fatigue syndrome because the cause is unknown. Scientists are actively searching for a better understanding of chronic fatigue syndrome and ways to prevent it.
However, it is sensible to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Moreover, try to avoid the use of the following drugs since they are known to cause fatigue:
- Drug abuse
- Hypnotics
- Blood pressure medications
- Antidepressants
- Seizure medications
- Antihistamines
- Beta blockers
- Tranquilizers
