Q My health check was entirely normal, yet I am constantly tired. I feel treated as if I am imagining it.
A Normal tests mean there is no dangerous disease, not that there is no fatigue. Tests largely look at structure and numbers, while fatigue is a matter of function and recovery — and there is a gap between the two. In practice, people in that gap are the ones we see most.
Detailed Answer
That said, if any value sits at the low end of "normal", it is worth looking at separately. Iron, vitamin D and thyroid values can produce symptoms while still within the lower range. Bring your results and we will review that pattern together.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
We examine the pulse and abdomen, the tongue, and your sleep, digestion and body temperature. Separating shortage from stagnation — which numbers do not capture — is where the consultation begins. This is exactly where most people told "nothing is wrong" come to us.
