Symptom 7. Fatigue
Fatigue is a common early symptom of pancreatic cancer, often resulting from the body’s energy being diverted to fight the disease. The cancer cells can also release substances that cause fatigue and weakness, affecting patients’ overall well-being.
In addition to fatigue, pancreatic cancer patients may experience anemia, a condition characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells. Anemia can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and pale skin, further impacting patients’ quality of life.
While fatigue can be a symptom of various conditions, it’s essential not to ignore it, especially when accompanied by other early signs of pancreatic cancer. If you’re experiencing persistent fatigue without a clear cause, consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying issue. (5)
