Would you go to the Dr over this?

I have just dropped my hours quite drastically at work and taken some time off as I think I had burnout.

I am absolutely exhausted. I've been off for 2 weeks and have no plans to return for at least another 10 days.

I have caught up with some housework and life admin but I keep falling asleep. I can not keep my eyes open at times. I put my toddler down for a nap and end up napping with him. I am trying to listen to my body and rest lots. Take things slowly and eat well to nourish my body but this feeling will not shift.

It doesn't help that I am fat and need to lose about 4 stone.

I am going to bed at a decent time at night. I am not doing anything particularly arduous throughout the day but nothing is making me feel better.

Would you go to the Dr? I don't know if I am being over the top but I am not sure what more I can do from home.

Yes definitely. I had similar symptoms and my ferritin was very low.

Get your thyroid, iron, b12 etc checked.

Yes would be worth getting your thyroid checked if you're finding it hard to lose any weight as well as being exhausted
