		bajones de energia Nov 3, 2008 En 1996 empec� a tomar antirretrovirales, actualmente y desde hace unos a�os estoy con zidovudina, videx 400 y sustiva 600. Hay muchos dias en que mi energia est� bajo minimos hasta el punto que oigo mi cabeza un zumbido y est� como embotada y debo bajar mi ritmo diario.Dicen los doctores que no es a causa de la medicaci�n y me envian a consulta de psicologos y psiquiatras. Quiero saber a que se debe y si puedo solucionarlo con alguna ayuda o dieta especial.Soy mujer de 53 a�os. Gracias.


Advertisement Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad Hola mujer de 53 a�os, En el contexto del VIH, s� que hay muchas causas de la falta de energ�a (la fatiga) y de estar embotado, incluyendo las causas psicol�gicas y psiquiatritas; sin embargo, tus doctores no deber�an precipitarse a sacar esta conclusi�n sin ofrecerte una evaluaci�n completa y rigurosa. Por ejemplo, zidovudina (Retrovir, AZT) puede conllevar el desarrollo de la anemia, de la que la fatiga es un s�ntoma com�n. Asimismo Sustiva (efavirenz) puede estar asociado a varios efectos secundarios del sistema nerviosa central, tales como ansiedad, confusi�n, depresi�n, debilidad, mareos, problemas de concentraci�n y incluso una sensaci�n de estar embotado. Lo esencial es que antes de consultar a un psic�logo o un psiquiatra, t� y tu especialista en VIH deben descartar otras causas posibles de tus s�ntomas. Te sugiero que hagas una cita con tu m�dico y que le exijas una evaluaci�n completa. Mucha suerte y un abrazo fuerte.
