Fatigue has a long list of possible causes, which makes a well-prepared visit especially valuable. The clearer your notes, the faster your doctor can narrow things down. Here is what to prepare, what to ask, and how to follow up.
Track how long you have felt this way, how it affects your day, and whether it is steady or comes and goes. Note your sleep, mood, stress, and any other symptoms like weight change, pain, or feeling low.
Write down your current medications and supplements, since some affect energy. List anything that has changed recently in your routine, work, or health.
Expect your doctor to ask about sleep, mood, and other symptoms, and to consider tests to rule things out. Lead with your notes so the visit covers the full picture, not just the headline.
Take notes as the doctor talks, record the meeting (with their permission!) in myStoria, or add a quick voice note to myStoria as soon as possible afterward so that you are not relying on memory alone.
Before you leave the clinic, ask for copies of anything from the visit, like lab results, assessments, or referrals, and upload them to myStoria to keep your history complete. (If you aren't able to get copies, connect with Concierge and we can help you source them!)
After the visit, make a short daily voice note about your energy, sleep, and mood, along with any test results you receive. Patterns over a couple of weeks are more useful than a single day.
If your tiredness deepens or new symptoms appear, book a follow-up rather than waiting it out. Bring your notes and any results so the next visit picks up where this one left off.
myStoria keeps your energy, sleep, and other symptoms in one place, along with the medications and results that go with them, so your appointment starts from a clear pattern rather than a single rough day. Everything stays with you between visits, so a follow-up builds on the last. And when you want to talk something through, you can schedule a video consult in advance with a member of our team, several of whom are nurses.
This page offers general information to help you prepare for and follow up on your fatigue appointment. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If your fatigue is sudden and severe, or comes with chest pain, breathlessness, or fainting, seek urgent care. myStoria video consults are scheduled in advance.
