Four signs you might need a blood test

In the fast-paced society we live in, our health can often be overlooked until something is wrong.

If you’ve been experiencing unusual symptoms such as constant fatigue, feeling under the weather, unexplained weight fluctuations or unexplained headaches and pains then it may be time for a blood test.

A blood test can provide the answers you need to put you on the right path for a healthier lifestyle, all in a simple five-minute appointment at our conveniently located clinic in Manchester city centre or at our privately owned hospital in Newton-le-Willows.

Want to know the four signs to look out for that may indicate that you should book a blood test? Keep reading!

  1. Feeling like a zombie

Are you constantly fatigued, no matter how much rest you get? If you find yourself dragging through the day, struggling to concentrate or generally just feeling unusually tired, it could be a sign that something isn’t right.

Fatigue can stem from various underlying issues, such as nutritional deficiencies (like iron or vitamin D), thyroid problems or even chronic conditions.

A blood test can help identify any deficiencies or hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to your lethargy.

  1. Immune system needs a recharge

Are you catching colds and infections more than usual? If you are feeling under the weather regularly, your immune system may need a boost.

A quick and easy blood test can provide insight into your immune function, revealing whether you’re lacking essential nutrients or if there are underlying health issues affecting your body’s ability to fight off illness.

  1. Weight is playing hard to get

Are you struggling to lose weight despite diet and exercise efforts? Unexplained weight fluctuations can be frustrating and confusing, often caused by hormonal imbalances, such as thyroid disorders or insulin resistance, which can significantly impact weight management.

A blood test can help determine if there are any underlying factors affecting your weight, allowing you to work with your healthcare provider to develop a tailored plan that addresses these issues and promotes a healthier lifestyle.

  1. Weird symptoms that won’t quit

Are you suffering with persistent headaches, digestive issues, skin problems or unexplained aches and pains? All these symptoms warrant further investigation that can be provided with a simple blood test that can uncover any hidden conditions or deficiencies that may be contributing to these symptoms.

At Pall Mall you can book a private blood test appointment, with no waiting lists or NHS referral required. You can expect to receive your results within 1 to 3 working days via email and you can book a call with one of our GPs to discuss your results, with prices starting from £50.

If you are concerned about experiencing any of the above symptoms and would like to book a private blood test, call us on 0161 832 2111 or enquire online.
