Always Exhausted? This Is What a GP Looks For Before Testing

Why You’re Always Tired (And What a GP Thinks About First) Always tired, even after sleeping or taking time off? If you have been feeling exhausted for weeks or months, this video is for you. In this video, GP Dr Sonia explains how persistent tiredness is approached in real GP consultations, before labels are considered. Calmly, clinically, and without assumptions. Many people assume constant fatigue means iron problems, thyroid disease, or vitamin deficiency. Sometimes that is true. Often, it is not the starting point. As a GP with over 20 years of NHS experience, I cover: • Why being tired does not automatically mean illness • What doctors look for before ordering tests • How sleep, stress, movement, and mental load affect energy • The difference between burnout, low mood, and medical fatigue • When tiredness does need urgent medical review This video is not about pushing harder. It is about understanding what your body may be signalling. No medical jargon. No scare tactics. Just clear, evidence-based insight from everyday general practice.
