Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disorder that is currently not attributed to any preexisting disease. It is characterized by extreme fatigue (physical and mental), intolerance to exertion or myalgia.
The internist is the specialist in comprehensive care, focused on diseases that affect internal organs and systems. It is advisable to see an internist when persistent symptoms occur, such as unexplained fatigue, chronic pain, changes in organ function, or the need to manage multiple health conditions. Additionally, it is advisable to consult an internist for routine checkups, preventive evaluations, and guidance on chronic disease management.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats chronic fatigue you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
