A member asked:
Is it normal to be unusually tired few days after a blood test? does it mean i could have an iron problem thanks.

Blood test: The amount of blood drawn for testing ( occasional outpatient testing) is generally not too much to cause fatigue. You could be tired because of the problem that your physician is trying to figure out by ordering tests. Anemia and hypothyroidism can commonly cause fatigue. Your test reports should be able to help narrowing down the cause of it. Good luck.
