About tiredness and assessment
Tiredness can have many causes, including sleep, stress, mood, medicines and medical conditions. This recording gives examples rather than a complete checklist; symptoms alone do not establish a vitamin deficiency or another diagnosis.
If unexplained tiredness lasts for several weeks or affects daily life, arrange a medical assessment. Tests and treatment depend on your symptoms and circumstances.
This video provides general information and does not replace an individual medical assessment.
