Rare Symptoms
In addition to these common symptoms, people with chronic fatigue syndrome might experience some rare signs that are not universal or not needed for diagnosis. These include:
– General symptoms: recurrent infections, frequent canker sores, seizures, muscle twitching, unexplained weight changes, rashes, dry eyes and mouth, or visual disturbances
– Respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms: shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, frequent respiratory infections
– Psychological symptoms: mood swings, personality changes, panic attacks, anxiety, irritability
In some cases, these rare symptoms might be due to overlapping conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, depression, endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome, or tinnitus. It is important to diagnose and treat these conditions separately to make you feel better. [9]
