Tiredness and Fatigue Blood Test
A tiredness and fatigue blood test checks the most common medical causes of exhaustion—including thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and diabetes—answering the question millions of people ask: "Why am I always tired?" Up to 10% of GP visits are for fatigue, and blood testing identifies treatable causes in the majority of cases.
