Feeling constantly tired despite getting sleep and rest? It might not be stress, but anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. Here's what tests can help identify the cause — and how to take care of yourself to regain your energy.

If you wake up tired, feel sluggish all day, and can’t concentrate — don’t rush to blame it on overwork or lack of sleep. Persistent fatigue may signal hidden imbalances in the body.

Possible causes:

– Anemia (low hemoglobin or iron levels)
– Vitamin D deficiency
– Vitamin B12 deficiency
– Thyroid dysfunction
– Chronic inflammatory processes
– Sleep disorders (apnea, insomnia)

What to do?

1. Get basic lab tests done:

– Complete blood count (CBC)
– Vitamin D
– Vitamin B12
– Ferritin
– TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone)

These indicators can help determine if there are physiological causes of fatigue that can be addressed.

At Medica Mente, you can take all the necessary tests — without a referral and on your request.

2. Maintain basic health hygiene:

– Get at least 7 hours of sleep, avoiding screens before bed
– Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast
– Stay hydrated — dehydration has a direct impact on energy levels

Fatigue is a signal. Hearing it in time means protecting your health.
