I’m 56, am on HRT which seems to be the right combination and doses. I’m generally fit and healthy - eat well, not overweight, run and lift weights 3 times a week, average about 10k steps a day. I mostly sleep well but sometimes have phases of being awake for a couple of hours in the middle of the night. I take a daily B12 complex supplement and the occasional iron tablet. I have a very unstressful and easy life, so why am I so bloody exhausted all the time?
I went on a nice gentle walk yesterday afternoon, was asleep by about 10:30pm and woke up at about 7:30 this morning. I’m at home, pottering about, but my eyeballs feel like lead and all I want to do is go to sleep. I am supposed to run later but the thought of it is making my insides curl up as I am so tired.
I don’t have any obvious symptoms like losing weight or rashes or aches and pains.
Is it worth getting a blood test for things like, thyroid, vitamin deficiencies, iron levels?
