Chronic Fatigue

What you may experience

• Waking tired despite adequate sleep
• Afternoon energy collapse
• Reduced exercise tolerance
• Difficulty concentrating

Lifestyle factors that may contribute

These are common contributors, not a diagnosis. Which apply to you — and whether something else is going on — is what the assessment establishes.

• Poor sleep quality
• Nutritional inadequacy
• Sustained stress
• Sedentary routine
• Undiagnosed thyroid disorder or anaemia

When an assessment helps

Most people manage this on their own for a long time before asking anyone. An assessment is worth booking when any of these are true.

• It has lasted more than a few weeks, or keeps returning
• It is changing what you do — how you sit, sleep, work or exercise
• You have tried the obvious things and they have not held
• You are not sure whether it is serious, and would rather someone looked

An assessment is not a commitment to treatment. If we cannot help, we say so and you pay for the assessment only.

How we approach it

We start with assessment, and with basic bloods through your physician if they have not been done — because fatigue has causes we must rule out before treating it as lifestyle.
