Feeling tired all the time is a common concern, especially during winter. While busy schedules and poor sleep often play a role, persistent fatigue can sometimes be linked to underlying health factors that are worth checking.
Blood tests can help identify possible contributors to low energy levels.
Common Causes of Ongoing Fatigue
Fatigue may be influenced by:
- Vitamin deficiencies
- Hormonal changes
- Iron levels
- Thyroid function
- Recent illness or stress
Symptoms often develop gradually and may be easy to overlook.
What Blood Tests Can Help Identify
Depending on your symptoms and health background, blood tests may assess:
- Vitamin D levels
- Vitamin B12 levels
- Iron status
- Other markers linked to energy and wellbeing
Testing is always subject to clinical assessment to ensure it is appropriate.
When Should You Consider Testing?
You may want to seek advice if fatigue:
- Persists for several weeks
- Affects daily activities or concentration
- Does not improve with rest
- Is accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness or breathlessness
A professional review helps determine whether testing or further assessment is suitable.
