Condition

Anaemia & Fatigue

Tiredness, low haemoglobin and unexplained weakness.

Persistent tiredness is one of the most common reasons people visit a physician, and it is often a sign of something correctable — low iron, thyroid problems, vitamin deficiency or poor sleep.

What patients often report

  • Tiredness even after adequate sleep
  • Pallor, giddiness or breathlessness
  • Hair fall, brittle nails or mouth ulcers
  • Reduced concentration at work

How it is assessed

  • Complete blood count and iron studies
  • Vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D
  • Thyroid and blood sugar testing
  • Screening for hidden blood loss where relevant

How care is usually structured

  • Correcting the underlying deficiency
  • Iron infusion or supplementation when needed
  • Treating menstrual or gastrointestinal causes
  • A short, focused sleep and stress review

When to seek urgent care

  • Chest pain, breathlessness at rest or fainting
  • Black stools or heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Sudden weakness or difficulty walking

If any of these apply, go to the nearest hospital or call emergency services — do not wait for a routine appointment.
