My brother passed out the other day. He has been very tired soon after. He has remained to be very tired. The only other new symptoms before the day he passed out he has on and off lower back pain. Seems to be only when standing or walking. Relieved when setting.

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Thank you for your question.

Fatigue is usually used when describing someone who is tired and would like to sleep and exhausted(extreme fatigue)is used to describe someone who is physically tired from performing a physical activity. Low back ache just for a day maybe an associated symptome due to fatigue. There is nothing to worry about it if it is a one time episode. There are no cures for this but graded exercise therapy, dietary changes and lots of fluids will surely help. If there is unexplained, persistent and relapsing fatigue which is called as chronic fatigue syndrome then it is something to be concerned. I suggest that you schedule an appointment with your family doctor if it is chronic. He or she can take a detailed history of your symptoms and perform a through physical exam.

I hope this answers your query. Good luck.

With best regards,

Dr. K
