Questions about sleep and energy
What blood tests check for tiredness?
Common starting points are iron studies, a full blood count, thyroid function, vitamin D, B12 and blood sugar. Your doctor chooses based on your history.
Could I have sleep apnoea?
Loud snoring, gasping at night and daytime sleepiness can be signs. Your doctor can refer you for a sleep study if needed.
Is the afternoon slump normal?
A mild dip after lunch is common. Big crashes, or tiredness that never lifts, are worth checking.
How long until I get answers?
Results usually arrive within a few days, and your doctor goes through them in your consult.
