Question : I feel extremely tired and dont feel like eating.

Answered by Dr. Vaishalee Punj (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Need blood tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

I need more details about your symptoms to be better able to help you. Do you have any other symptoms? In the scenario of extreme weakness, blood tests are warranted.

Thus I would suggest you to go for basic blood tests including thyroid profile, lipid profile, complete blood count, liver function tests, kidney function tests, fasting blood glucose levels, etc

If you already have gotten the reports, please upload them.

Brief Answer:
Yes it can

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Yes, similar symptoms can be experienced in the presence of stress. But I would blame stress after the tests have been done.

In case you are going through some stress, please stay away from the stresser. Yoga and meditation help relieve stress. So take some course of yoga/meditation.

Hope it helps.
