😴 Feeling tired all the time? It’s not just “getting older”.

While fatigue can be linked to medical conditions like an under-active thyroid or diabetes, our lifestyle often plays a huge role.

⚠️ Alcohol may help you nod off – but it can disrupt deep sleep.
☕ Too much caffeine? That “wired and tired” feeling is real.
🏃‍♀️ And exercise? It might be the energy boost you’re missing.
🛏️ Quality sleep matters. Adults need 7+ hours to properly recharge.

Still feeling exhausted despite doing everything “right”?
Let’s get to the bottom of it together.

📍 Book a check-up with us today.

Feeling low, anxious, or just not yourself during menopause?

You’re not alone — but antidepressants aren’t always the answer.
🧠 When low mood is driven by hormonal changes, like falling oestrogen, it’s not the same as clinical depression.

That’s why HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is often one of the most effective treatments — helping to stabilise hormone levels and ease emotional symptoms.

✨ Not sure what’s right for you?
Book in and let’s talk through it. You deserve to feel like yourself again.

Feeling constantly exhausted? 😩
Had a blood test that showed you’re low in iron? You’re not alone—iron deficiency is incredibly common, especially in women.

👉 Heavy periods
👉 Intense exercise
👉 Poor dietary intake

These can all contribute to your iron levels dipping. And while eating more red meat or spinach might seem like the answer—it’s rarely enough to replenish your stores fully.

To give you an idea: you’d need to eat the equivalent of 2kg of red meat or 50 wheaty picks a day to match the iron levels needed for recovery. 😳

That’s why, in many cases, an iron supplement is essential to bring your levels back up and improve your energy.

📩 If you’ve been told you’re low in iron and aren’t sure what to do next, we’re here to help. Book in to chat about the right treatment for you.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS): What Are the Signs? 💬

PCOS affects 1 in 10 women, but many don’t realise they have it. The symptoms can be subtle—or chalked up to other issues.

💡 Classic signs to watch for:
🩸 Irregular or absent periods
😓 Unexplained weight gain (especially around the tummy)
🌱 Acne or oily skin
👱‍♀️ Hair thinning on the scalp
💢 Excess facial/body hair
💔 Trouble conceiving

Hormonal imbalances can set off a cycle of weight gain, inflammation and insulin resistance—but there are ways to break the loop.

🧪 At Essex Private Doctors, we take a detailed approach to diagnosis, from hormone panels and scans to metabolic health checks.

📩 Struggling with symptoms or want to rule out PCOS? Book in with us for a personalised consultation.

📍 What is IgE — and What Does It Mean for Allergies? 🤧💉

Ever heard of an IgE blood test or RAST test?

IgE (Immunoglobulin E) is the antibody your body produces in response to allergens — things like pollen, pets, or certain foods.
When IgE is triggered, your body releases histamine, which leads to allergy symptoms such as:

👃 Runny or blocked nose
👀 Watery or itchy eyes
🤧 Sneezing and hay fever
🌡️ Rashes or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis

💉 A simple blood test can detect your IgE levels and identify specific allergens, helping us tailor your treatment more effectively.

Thinking of getting tested?
📩 Book a consultation and let’s talk through your options.

🌾 Targets your specific allergens (like grass pollen)
⏳ Builds tolerance gradually over 3 years
🌟 Can be life-changing for persistent allergy sufferers

If seasonal allergies are disrupting your life, it might be time to explore a different approach.

🫀 Preventing Heart Disease Starts Early

When it comes to heart health, prevention is key.
This is what we call primary prevention — identifying risks before problems develop.

Common risk factors include:
🚬 Smoking
🍷 Alcohol use
⚖️ Obesity
📈 High blood pressure
🩸 Raised cholesterol
🍩 Diabetes or pre-diabetes

At Essex Private Doctors, we can help you assess and manage these risks.
That may include:
🧪 Blood tests to check cholesterol and blood sugar
📋 Reviewing your lifestyle
🩺 Blood pressure checks and personalised advice

If you have a family history of heart disease or simply want peace of mind, book in to get checked.

👉 Don’t wait for symptoms. Prevention is powerful.

📱 Is Your Smartwatch Telling You Something Important?

Smartwatches with ECG functions are becoming more than just fitness gadgets — they’re powerful tools for spotting heart rhythm abnormalities like atrial fibrillation (AF).

AF often goes unnoticed but can increase your risk of stroke. Key symptoms include:
💓 Palpitations
😮‍💨 Shortness of breath
😴 Unexplained fatigue

If your watch flags an irregular rhythm — especially during symptoms — don’t ignore it. Run an ECG, save the result, and book in for a professional review. Early detection can prevent serious complications.

📍 At Essex Private Doctors, we regularly assess patients who’ve picked up early signs using their devices. If you’re concerned, we’re here to help.

Are You Ignoring the Warning Signs of Heart Disease? ❤️‍🩹
Chest tightness during exercise? Shortness of breath? Fatigue you can’t explain?
These could be early signs of heart disease — and they shouldn’t be ignored.

At Essex Private Doctors, we regularly assess patients who thought their symptoms were “just stress” or “just getting older.” Recognising angina and other early indicators of atherosclerosis can make all the difference.
