Hi all. I've been wondering whether to bring up my afternoon energy crashes at my next GP appointment or whether they'll just tell me to sleep more and send me on my way. I'm 53, postmenopause, and around 3pm most days I just... fall off a cliff. Can barely string a sentence together. I've started wondering if it's blood sugar related but I genuinely don't know what to ask for or whether it's even worth mentioning alongside everything else. Has anyone actually had bloodwork done for this kind of thing and found it useful? I don't want to go in with a massive list and get fobbed off, but I also don't want to leave without asking the right questions. I'm trying to write things down beforehand this time instead of going blank the moment I sit down. Any experience of what's worth tracking before an appointment would be really helpful. x
