Hi XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM. I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Please share with us some more details like your height, weight, any medical illness, any lab tests done etc.

I think you should have a medical examination and blood tests done. Tiredness and lack of energy can be part of any disease. In other wise healthy women of 30 years complaining of tiredness and low energy, what we commonly do are:

1. Physical examination to look for anaemia, any illness

2. Blood routine examination

3. Serum electrolytes

4. Thyroid function tests

5. Calcium, phosphorus, Vitamin D, vitamin B12

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Dear Sir,

My weight is 53 kgs and height is 5 feet 4 inches. In May i had my last medical tests done, in which all parameters were normal. Iron level was 13.4 and cholestrol borderline (on the high side). I will share the same with you.

Would SRL be a good diagnostic centre to repeat the tests from?
