Yes i feel like i have had more fatigue lately than usual, i also feel like i have been getting a lot more sore throats and colds lately, is this serious?
Brief Answer:
Nutritional deficiencies/hypothyroidism
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.
Constant fatigue suggests nutritional deficiencies (your blood tests are normal) and hypothyroidism. Frequent episodes of cold and sore throat denote some form of allergy related to environmental dust.
Kindly go ahead for the investigations, what I have already mentioned.
All the best, Take care.
