Which condition is known as post-viral fatigue and is characterized by exhaustion, aches, headaches and dizziness?

• A. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• B. Fibromyalgia
• C. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)
• D. Post-viral Fatigue Syndrome

Answer: (C)

Post-viral fatigue describes a prolonged tiredness that follows a viral illness. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is the term most closely connected to this pattern because it’s often triggered by an infection and presents with deep exhaustion that isn’t relieved by rest, along with aches, headaches and dizziness. This combination—onset after a viral event plus a fatigue-dominated symptom picture—makes ME the best fit for the description. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is related but broader, fibromyalgia emphasizes widespread pain with fatigue, and Post-viral Fatigue Syndrome is a descriptive label; ME is the term most commonly used in this context.
