“Why do I feel so weak even though my blood counts are all normal?”
I have been feeling very weak and tired for the last 10 days. I underwent a blood check-up to understand if I was anemic. However, all my blood counts are in the normal range. What could be the reason for my fatigue?

anemia is one cause of fatigue, you need to be further evaluated for other common causes such as hypothyroidism, B12 deficency, viral infections. low blood Na, dehydration, low blood sugar, toxin, further evaluation needed by your PCP.
Fatigue and weakness are very common medical complaints and the causes are many and varied. Anemia is only one cause along with poor sleep, depression, drug side effects, thyroid dysfunction, viral and other infections, an a long list of other causes. A thorough history and physical exam can often provide clues, and at a minimum rule out the more serious causes.
