Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have very long, stressful days at work as an RN discharge planner. I go none stop, at full throttle for 8 hours. I notice that on my first day off I am wiped out and my body feel depleted. Is this a type of effect from prolonged periods of adrenaline rush?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes. Too much stress at work can make you tired. Whatever might be the amount of work, try to take a short break of 2-3mins at least every 20-25mins. You can just go for a short walk, have a glass of water and return back to work. This gives your body a chance to replenish energy stores required by the body.
Feel free to ask further.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dr Vikas Achampet MD Psychiatry
