Can a UTI make you tired?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I'm a 22 year old female. About a week ago I woke up extremely tired (which is unusual for me as I always sleep at least 8 hours). I figured it would get better but as the week went on it only got worse and worse. It has made my anxiety really bad. I was so tired I would sleep 9 hours and woke up feeling like I slept none. I was also urinating very frequently, had stomach and back pain, a sharp shooting feeling up my aide and I would get heat flashes. It started to bother me so much that I went to the ER. They checked my blood and urine. They told me everything on my the blood test came back beautifully and that all my vitamin levels look great. However in my urine they noticed a lot of bacteria and diagnosed me with a UTI. They assured me it was very possible for UTI to make me feel so worn down especially paired with my anxiety I started my antibiotics tonight but I'm scared they won't stop the fatigue. I read UTIs can make you tired but that it usually happens to older women so I'm really scared
