Hi, lately I’ve been constantly feeling very tired, and it’s starting to affect my work and my life. Even if I sleep 8 or 9 hours, I wake up feeling like I haven’t rested at all. I don’t think it’s just stress, because I’ve experienced stress before, but this feels different. Could it be something like anemia or a vitamin deficiency? I haven’t seen a doctor yet because I thought it would pass, but it’s been more than 2 months now. What should I ask the doctor to check for? I’m really worried that it might be something serious.
Hey, that sounds rough. If you’re still feeling exhausted despite getting enough sleep, it’s a good idea to see a doctor. It could be something like anemia or a vitamin deficiency. Also, they might check for thyroid issues or sleep disorders. It’s worth getting it looked at to figure out what’s going on.
I’d suggest asking doctors to check for things like iron levels, thyroid function, and maybe even a sleep study to rule out disorders like sleep apnea. It could be a simple fix, but better to get some tests done and find out what’s going on.
You’re right to get it checked out—it could be anything from low iron or B12 to thyroid problems.
It sounds frustrating and concerning. It could be anemia, a vitamin deficiency, or another underlying issue. When you see a doctor, ask them to check your blood levels, including iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, to rule out any deficiencies or other health problems.
