Should I ask for a blood test or try other things before

33-year-old womana year ago
I have been tired for a while, I had anemia during my 4th pregnancy. I have headaches, heartaches and sometimes dizziness. I'm wondering if I should ask for a blood test to check? I did one after I gave birth and I was borderline, but ok.

Hello Madam, how long have you been experiencing this? Could there be other causes such as lack of sleep, increased workload or other?

I have been feeling this way for a few weeks but not for a week. I am back to work after 3 weeks with sinusitis and influenza.

Thanks for the information! Fighting infections such as sinusitis and the flu is very taxing on the body, and it often takes a few weeks to get back to normal. That being said, fatigue these days is most often caused by overwork, an increased workload, a slightly less efficient diet, and less quality and quantity of sleep/rest, or a combination of these factors. I invite you to keep a diary where you will write down everything you consume and the quantities, but also the activities you undertake, and your state of mind (fatigue, stress, etc.). In the second column you could write down the occurrence and extent of the symptoms. We could then identify some possible causes. This may take several weeks so I suggest being diligent.
If no cause can be suggested, I suggest consulting a physician to get a thorough evaluation of the situation.
I hope I have been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
