carry on/hold on/keep on/go on

I feel a bit tired. However, I can hold on/carry on/go on/keep on.

All of the underlined phrases work fine in the above to me, but are there marginal differences in meanings? Thanks.

Hold on is different: it means 'endure, maintain; wait ' (remain static). The other three mean ' continue ' (progress).
