Extreme Fatigue
Posted , 5 users are following.
I've been diagnosed with IBS now for around 2 years and had blood tests for thyroid disease, urine samples and stool samples taken. I am always extremely fatigued, regardless of whether I have done anything or how much sleep I get. I've recently however discovered my mum is anemic, which obviously makes you very fatigued. However, I've also read it can cause IBS, headaches, heart palpitations, etc. all things that I find myself suffering from. Can anemia be passed on genetically and would it have shown up in my thyroid blood test?
Thank you

if your anaemia and thyroid tests are normal, it is more likely it is your IBS causing these symptoms. If you have anaemia or an underactive thyroid, it will show up in blood tests.
