Tired eyes and yawnjng now and again

[Bex4567]

Hi
For about 3 weeks now ive had tired eyes..
As if ive been up crying all night. Its starting to scare me..i had full.bloods done with showed iron of 22 bu apparentyl thats normal.... im worried about c somewhere.
My body feels fine its just my eyes that feel tired

Do you get hayfever? One of my first symptoms every year is a kind of fullness/pressure in my eyes and a feeling like my eyelids are very heavy and need to close.

Have you seen an optician? Are you sleeping ok? Well hydrated?
Tired eyes wouldn't make me think cancer. Are you getting help for your health anxiety?

Have you had an eye check?

Is that a ferritin of 22 or iron of 22, because they're different things. If you mean ferritin, then 22 is far too low and you're iron deficient. It should be at 90-100.

Do you need glasses? Eye strain, even if it’s pretty minor, makes me feel physically tired.

I do get hayfever yeah every year but never with the eyes lke this ..

Yeah ferritin...its apparently normal betwern 16 and 240 or somehting mine is 22 but xoz its in normal range they said its fine and im not deficient

I went to optitinas last week said script has changed minor but thats it...said my eye bud things were blockes on both bottom eye lids but my mum said they tell her that everytime and dosnt get feeling likw this...just worried its something else. I mean can eye strain last 3 weeks

I am yawnng aswell tho now and again..i dont sleep particulary well no but ive always been like that and never felt lile this....
Majority of cancers says fatigue as a symtpom thats why im worried...my body feels ok its just my tired eyes i mean if i led there i cpuld prob fall asleep no problem

Well I hate to disagree with your doctor but it's not optimal at that level, the range is too wide. It needs to be at 90-100 to be optimal. You'll find many posts on MN where people have been told their ferritin is 'fine' even though it's barely in double figures and they're struggling with fatigue.

The other thing to check is your thyroid. I had deathly tiredness and like you wondered if I had cancer but it was my thyroid!

She did my thyriod well tsh nornal apparently

What’s an eye bud? A duct? If your eyes are dry that can make them tired. Try some warm compresses and viscotears drops.

Its coz fatigue is a symptok ot cancer

Eye glads yeah...yeah but its been nearly 4 weeks

And what did the dr recommend for your dry eyes?

I dont no if it is dry eyes it cant be for nesrly 4 weeks...they feel tired all the time im worried its fatigue instead

Not solidly for 4 weeks tho

It could be dry eyes. I get this and have to use eye drops.

How long do yiu have it for tho

I have to use my eye drops for several days before they feel better. Also an ophthalmologist told me to wet a face cloth with warm water and hold it over my eyes in the morning and evening. This helps too.

Yeah mines been 4 weeks now
