Do kidney stones make you tired?

Question

I've been feeling unusually tired and drained for weeks, even though I'm getting enough sleep. Someone mentioned that kidney stones can sometimes cause fatigue. Is that true?

Deepika Rao · Accepted Answer

Yes, dealing with constant pain and lack of sleep can make you extremely fatigued. However, please make sure the tiredness isn't due to a kidney infection or fever. It is always safest to get your blood and urine checked by a doctor.

They absolutely drain your energy. My fitness band showed my stress levels were peak high all day because the body is constantly fighting the pain. Focus on light hydration and rest, and let your body recover.

Savitri Bai · Answer

Yes, beta, the body gets very tired because it is spending all its energy coping with that sharp ache. It is completely normal to feel weak. Just drink warm soups, rest well, and don't push yourself to do heavy work.

Karan Singh · Answer

The constant physical pain really saps your stamina. While I usually advocate staying active, when you have a kidney stone flare-up, you must rest. Only do very light walking if the pain is mild and your doctor has cleared it.

Amit Patel · Answer

Yes, they absolutely drain your energy because of the constant pain. It is very common to feel exhausted.

Venkatesh Prasad · Answer

Yes, they do. The pain raises your stress hormones, which can affect your blood pressure and leave you feeling completely wiped out. Make sure you get your BP checked and take proper rest while treating the stone.
