Tired Of Feeling Tired?

Iron deficiency

A lack of this important mineral can leave you devoid of energy. You might get other symptoms too, such as shortness of breath and palpitations. Iron deficiency can be the result of bleeding in the stomach or intestines due to taking anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen or aspirin, from piles or stomach ulcers. A blood test can reveal if iron deficiency anaemia is behind your fatigue. Not treating it can put you more at risk of heart problems and infections.

Hypothyroidism

Exhaustion is the main symptom of an underactive thyroid gland. If a thyroid function test shows this to be your problem, you'll need to take daily levothyroxine tablets to replace the hormone thyroxine that you're missing. Heart disease is a possible complication of untreated hypothyroidism.
