Is it bad that I feel tired all the time, even if my labs are normal?

Feeling tired all the time, even if your lab tests are normal, can still be a problem. Some conditions, like chronic fatigue syndrome, may not show up in regular lab tests.

• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): This condition can make you feel very tired and is not always detected by standard lab tests. According to research, CFS involves a lot of fatigue and other symptoms that aren't always explained by regular tests.
• Lab Tests: Standard lab tests might not always find the cause of your tiredness. Studies show that these tests often don't pick up on conditions like CFS, which can make diagnosing the cause of fatigue challenging.

If you are feeling tired all the time, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider. They can help figure out if there's an underlying issue and suggest ways to help you feel better. If you're experiencing mental health concerns, please visit 988lifeline.org for support.
