- Lethargy can signal underlying health problems.
- A change in urination habits is often a red flag.
- Monitoring other symptoms can guide your next steps.
It's important to observe any additional signs or symptoms, such as changes in appetite, vomiting, or discomfort. While there can be simple explanations, such as a mild stomach upset, these symptoms combined can also point to more serious conditions like urinary tract infections, kidney issues, or pain.
