Symptom 9. Disturbed Sleep
Diverticulitis can lead to disturbed sleep patterns due to the pain and discomfort it causes. The inflammation and infection associated with this condition can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night.
In addition to pain, other symptoms such as fever, chills, and changes in bowel movements can further disrupt your sleep. Lack of restful sleep can contribute to feelings of fatigue and weakness, which can negatively impact your daily life and overall well-being.
If you’re experiencing sleep disturbances in conjunction with other symptoms of diverticulitis, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional. They can help address the underlying issues and recommend strategies to improve your sleep quality.(8)
