\nBethlehem – Together – Brain fog is a type of cognitive dysfunction that leads to confusion, memory problems, and lack of concentration.<\/p>\n
What is brain fog?<\/p>\n
Healthline said that brain fog is not a medical condition in itself but a symptom of other medical conditions.<\/p>\n
It is a type of cognitive dysfunction that includes: memory problems – lack of mental clarity – poor concentration.<\/p>\n
Some people also describe it as “mental fatigue.”<\/p>\n
Brain fog can affect your work, school, or other daily tasks.<\/p>\n
What are its possible causes?<\/p>\n
There are several reasons why brain fog occurs:<\/p>\n
Stress: Chronic stress can increase blood pressure, weaken the immune system, trigger depression, and may also cause mental fatigue.<\/p>\n
Lack of sleep: Poor sleep may affect the quality of human brain functions, according to research conducted in 2021, so it is usually recommended to sleep daily for a period of between 8 and 9 hours.<\/p>\n
Hormonal changes: 2018 research found that hormonal changes can also cause brain fog. For example, progestero
\nne and estrogen levels rise during pregnancy, leading to some effect on short-term memory.<\/p>\n
Diet: Diet can also play a role in brain fog. It is known that Vitamin B12 supports healthy brain functioning, which means that a deficiency in this vitamin may affect cognitive function and cause brain fog.<\/p>\n
Medications: You should always talk to your doctor, if you notice ‘mental fatigue’ while taking a particular medication. Brain fog is a known side effect of some medications, such as some sleep medications and pain medications.<\/p>\n
