Fatigue Health Check in London

Did you know that one in eight UK adults reports experiencing daily fatigue?

With increasing daily demands, viral diseases affecting energy levels, and the stress of recent years, fatigue has become a growing and debilitating concern, making a fatigue health check all the more important.

Understanding Fatigue

It can be challenging to seek help when experiencing tiredness and fatigue. Sometimes, expressing how you feel is difficult, and responses such as “sleep better” or “drink more water” may not be helpful.

While your lifestyle does impact our energy levels, fatigue can be more than just normal tiredness for some individuals. It affects all aspects of life and can feel like a constant weight, holding us back as we try to move forward. One patient described it as “constantly walking in mud,” a sentiment echoed by many others. If you feel like you are walking in mud, reach out so we can help uncover the cause.

 

How Do We Test For Fatigue?

If you have experienced a gradual decline in energy and an increased frequency of fatigue, our doctors aim to diagnose fatigue through a comprehensive approach. This includes conducting a detailed medical history and physical examination.

After our initial assessment, we conduct targeted tests based on suspected causes, including blood tests for anaemia, thyroid issues, infections, and inflammation. Identifying the precise cause of fatigue can be complex; however, these diagnostic measures enable doctors to pinpoint potential factors contributing to fatigue and tailor appropriate treatments accordingly.

Common Causes Of Fatigue

Fatigue can arise from various common causes, including anaemia and iron deficiency, which affect oxygen transport and energy production. Thyroid dysfunction and low vitamin D levels can also contribute by disrupting metabolism and bone health, respectively. Viral illnesses like Epstein Barr Virus and influenza may lead to prolonged fatigue. Diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, and food intolerances such as lactose and fructose intolerance can impair energy levels and digestive health.

Poor gut health, stress, and burnout are additional factors impacting fatigue, alongside lifestyle choices that affect sleep, diet, and physical activity levels. Hormonal changes, such as those during menopause, can also play a significant role in fatigue experienced by individuals. Identifying these diverse factors is crucial for developing tailored approaches to manage and alleviate fatigue effectively.

What happens during the Fatigue Health Check?

During your Fatigue Health Check, an experienced doctor will listen to your concerns and discuss likely causes. They will be interested in understanding when you noticed your symptoms, what might have preceded them, your past medical history, your family history, your stresses and demands and your lifestyle.

They will then conduct tests that include all of the elements of our Platinum Blood Profile, which looks at the most common causes, from anaemia to iron deficiency to thyroid dysfunction and vitamin deficiencies.

Once your results are back (usually within 24 hours), they will call you to discuss them and explore the next steps. If you need treatment, this will be provided, and lifestyle advice will also be given to support your recovery.

What exactly is a Fatigue Health Check, and why is it necessary?
A Fatigue Health Check is a comprehensive medical evaluation aimed at identifying the underlying causes of persistent tiredness or fatigue. It is necessary because fatigue can be a symptom of various health issues, ranging from simple lifestyle factors to more serious medical conditions like anemia, thyroid disorders, or chronic fatigue syndrome. The check typically includes a detailed medical history review, physical examination, laboratory tests, and discussions about lifestyle, diet, and mental health. The goal is to diagnose any underlying issues accurately and develop an effective treatment plan.
How should I prepare for a Fatigue Health Check?
To prepare for a Fatigue Health Check, you should: – Keep a diary of your fatigue symptoms, noting patterns and severity. – List all medications and supplements you’re currently taking. – Gather any relevant medical history information, including previous diagnoses and treatments. – Prepare a list of questions or concerns you have about your fatigue. – Be ready to discuss lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, sleep patterns, and stress levels. – Consider any family medical history that might be relevant. – Wear comfortable clothing for the physical examination and possibly fast if blood tests are required. – Ensure you have enough time for the appointment and arrange transportation if needed.
What can I expect in terms of diagnosis and treatment following a Fatigue Health Check?
Following a Fatigue Health Check, your doctor will analyze the information gathered to diagnose the possible causes of your fatigue. This may involve identifying specific medical conditions, assessing lifestyle factors, or recognizing mental health issues contributing to your tiredness. Based on the diagnosis, a treatment plan will be developed. This could include medical treatments for identified conditions, recommendations for lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly referrals to specialists. The treatment approach is usually personalized, and ongoing monitoring and adjustments may be necessary to effectively manage and alleviate your fatigue.
