Are you constantly feeling run down, even after a good night's sleep? Fatigue is one of the most common reasons people seek medical advice in the UK. While lifestyle factors like stress, work patterns, and poor sleep contribute, hidden health issues like anaemia or an immune condition could also be to blame.
An FBC test analyses your red and white blood cell counts, as well as platelets, giving a useful snapshot of your health. Simple issues like iron deficiency or unexpected infection can sometimes be picked up before symptoms worsen.
“The NHS recommends a blood test if you have unexplained fatigue lasting more than a few weeks.”
If symptoms persist, a blood test can help uncover the underlying cause.
With our Mayfield Clinic At-Home Full Blood Count (FBC) Kit, you can conveniently self-collect a finger-prick sample using a TDL Tiny kit. Results arrive in just one day. Prefer to see a doctor? You can also book an in-person blood test at our clinics across the UK.
If you’re tired of being tired, order your home blood test kit or book an appointment—and start your journey towards feeling your best.
A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a blood test that measures different types of cells in your blood, like red and white blood cells and platelets. It helps detect a wide range of conditions, such as infections, anaemia, and immune system issues.
Common symptoms include persistent tiredness, unexplained bruising, frequent infections, and shortness of breath. If you're experiencing these routinely, it may be a sign of an underlying issue best explored with a blood test.
Severe or ongoing symptoms should always be discussed with your GP first. Home blood tests are best for monitoring or mild symptoms, but if you experience sudden or severe symptoms persistently, seek medical advice promptly.
