hello,
You mentioned that you do have symptoms like tiredness from years. Did you do any visit or examination during this time?
I would recommend to check your thyroid function because your symptoms may be related to an hypofunction of the thyroid gland. A full blood count, cortisol level, vit D level would be also helpful but you have to talk to your doctor and to rule out all the above mentioned causes.
