Tiredness
Everyone feels tired from time to time. But if a person is feeling unusually tired, and it’s not because of an illness or other health condition, it might be possible that they have a herpes outbreak.
Herpes symptoms like fever and swollen lymph nodes can make them feel fatigued. However, they can also experience fatigue due to stress or emotional factors such as depression or anxiety. In some cases, long-term sleep deprivation can even cause fatigue by affecting the immune system.
A person diagnosed with herpes, especially orally, may want to rest more than the usual during the first few weeks after the symptoms appear. This allows their immune system to adjust to fighting off this virus. In addition, they may get at least eight hours of sleep each night while taking care not to overwork themselves physically so that the body has enough energy left after battling an infection.
