Feeling tired all the time

Hi,

For a long time every morning I struggle to get out of bed. Then 15 min after waking up it is better. When at work after 2 coffees it is fine.

It doesn't matter even if I sleep 12 hours I always feel like this in the morning. Also after work I just want to go home and rest and not like before where I used to go to the gym or play soccer.

I made some blood tests (not a complete check-up) and it accused very low levels of vitamin D. May it be causing it?

The scale says Good: 30,0 - 100,0, Insufficient: 20,0 - 29,0, Deficiency <= 20,0 and I accused 14.

I bought these vitamins attached that contain 500% Recommended Daily Dose, but I feel no different.

Any advise? Should I show my blood tests results to a doctor?

    Have your ferritin checked. Anything below 50 is iron deficiency. Vitamin D could be a factor. But it could also be both. Keep taking supplements for your vitamin d and keep an eye on your numbers when getting rechecked. Some people will need a prescription (for strong dose) for vitamin d if your number doesn’t come up. Also...check all levels of thyroid.

      Even if you hemoglobin is normal or within range, you could still be iron deficient. The only way you’ll know is checking ferritin.

      I checked iron, hemoglobin and thyroid too. They are all fine.

      Maybe I should check vitamins B6 and B12 too?
