Hello!
This is Dr. Klarida Papaqako answering your question. Thank you for posting your question to HCM.

I would recommend that he needs to do this types of blood tests, which rule out the most common causes of tiredness:
1) CBC (complete blood count) so he can see if he has anemia, or any blood infection.
2) TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) a hormone who will tell if his thyroid is producing enough hormones, which in the case that are low in the blood (called Hypothyroidism) might cause tiredness as the first sign.

Hope this helps,
Regards.
