With rising daily pressures, the impact of viral illnesses on energy levels, and the lingering stress of recent years, fatigue has become an increasingly common and challenging issue. This makes getting a fatigue health check more essential than ever. Our specialized fatigue screening services at Southkenmd.co.uk offer all-inclusive assessments and treatments to individuals with fatigue-related symptoms.
Seeking assistance for fatigue can be very difficult. It’s often hard to articulate how you feel, especially when advice like “just get more sleep” or “drink plenty of water” doesn’t address the deeper issue.
Although lifestyle choices influence our levels of energy, fatigue often goes beyond normal weariness. It can impact every aspect of life, creating a persistent sense of heaviness that makes moving forward feels somewhat impossible. Seek help right away if you experience this.
If you’ve noticed a steady decrease in energy levels and feel tired more often, we recommend a thorough approach to identify the issue. An in-depth review of your medical history and physical examination are the first steps in this process.
We will perform targeted tests to identify potential causes based on our findings. These may include blood tests to check for conditions such as anemia, infections, thyroid dysfunction, or inflammation. Finding out the exact cause of fatigue can be challenging, but these diagnostic steps allow us to identify contributing factors and develop personalized treatment plans to help you regain energy.
Fatigue can result from a variety of factors. Conditions like anemia and iron deficiency interfere with oxygen supply and energy production, whereas thyroid dysfunction and reduced vitamin D levels disrupt metabolism and overall bone health. Viral infections, such as Epstein-Barr Virus or influenza, may also result in persistent fatigue. Additionally, nutritional deficiencies, diabetes, and food intolerances, including lactose or fructose intolerance, can significantly affect energy levels and digestion.
Other contributors are chronic stress, poor gut health, burnout, and lifestyle factors like inadequate sleep, poor diet, and insufficient physical activity. Hormonal changes, like those experienced during menopause, can also play a major role in fatigue. Therefore, identifying these varied causes is essential to creating personalized strategies to effectively manage and reduce fatigue.
When seeking a fatigue health check, the doctor will begin by asking about your concerns and discussing the possible causes. They’ll also ask when your fatigue began, if there are any events that may have triggered it, and details about your medical history, family history, lifestyle, and daily stresses.
Comprehensive testing will follow, including a Blood Profile, which assesses common causes of fatigue such as anemia, thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency and vitamin deficiencies.
Once the results are available—typically within 24 hours—the doctor will contact you to discuss the findings and outline the next steps. If treatment is needed, it will be arranged, along with personalized lifestyle advice to support your recuperation and overall well-being.
The fatigue health check involves a thorough physical examination to identify any signs that might point to the underlying cause of your fatigue. This entails assessing the heart, abdomen, lungs, lymph nodes, and thyroid and evaluating your general physical condition.
These are the key elements of the fatigue health check:
This comprehensive approach ensures a detailed understanding of potential causes, enabling tailored treatments to restore energy and well-being.
