Constant tiredness and other symptoms.

[Gandalf]

I know I kind of have an idea about this but I wondered if anybody had any additional advice or experienced similar....

Basically, I'm always tired have dull cold aching extremities and while this may be partly down to my mental health and the weather respectively, I am experiencing drowsiness and heavy eyes even after a full good night sleep.

I understand that it's possible I have a Vitamin defficiency/amenia or lack of iron (my sister suffers from it) but I jut wondered is it possible it's anything else.

oogh, I just remembered something else:

Sometimes when I get up I get dizzy and temporarily blurred vision. (Which is fine 99% of the time because I went to the optician a month or so back.)

Any assistance very much appreciated :)

Those are common symptoms of depression. Though you already stated that it could be due to your mental health, i wasn't sure if that's what you were referring too. :) I also have the dizziness upon standing, my doctor linked it with low blood pressure. You could have a deficiency in sugars, try adding more caffeine to your diet.

Sounds like and iron deficiency to me. But Manjusri's reply also makes a ton of sense to me too. Doesn't hurt to try, if all else fails you could go see a doctor (:

Thanks, I am planning to see the doctor since I have ailment after ailment at the moment... I just don't have chance. Either it's a good time for me to goto the doctor and my own GP is unavailable or he's available and I have no time to go and see him.

Thanks again. :)
