Can't concentrate
I've been unable to concentrate properly for a while now. I feel tired most of the time and feel like I am losing my ability to think clearly. For example, sometimes I can't remember what I was about to say, or it takes me a long time to spell things that I used to find easy. Is this just a part of being a bit run down?
These feelings can be due to being run down, stressed and not sleeping properly, but they can also be due to medical problems such as depression, anaemia, or underactive thyroid, amongst other things. It is important to see your doctor for a general check-up to make sure there is nothing going on that needs further tests and treatment. It is also a good idea to look at your general diet and lifestyle to see if you are taking care of yourself properly. Are you eating a healthy, regular, balanced diet? Are you getting enough sleep? Do you exercise regularly? Are you getting enough rest and relaxation to help cope with any causes of stress in your life?
