Since Christmas, I have been on a diet because a routine blood test detailed that I have a fatty Liver.

At the time I was 17.4 stone, which I'm now 13.4 stone (a loss of 4.0 stone).

My dieting was going ok but of the last week, I have noticed that I feel tired all of the time, even yawning more than often.
This has caused me to panic and bring back my anxiety because I'm worrying that I could have a blood disorder or something sinister and that my weight loss is not down to my diet but it's down to this sinister problem etc.

I went to see a doctor on Monday about my tiredness, who said she would do a blood test but does not expect anything to be wrong, which I can go and see her next week before I go on holiday, which she will then go over the blood test results with me.

I would like to know if anxiety and especially focusing on it can make your tired and yawn etc, sounds a daft question but I was just curious and if blood test ok, can i then ignore it?

I go on holiday next week and I did not really want to go away worrying about all of this.

What routine bood test showed that you had a fatty liver? I think the vast majorityof people that drink alcohol reguarly have some sort of fat in the liver.

Well done on loosing the weight! That is really impressive. If you're tired all the time and been on a diet, it is most likely due to a lack of nutrition of some sort. Maybe mild anaemia? We all need carbs etc, maybe you've cut something out a bit too much? Either way, i am pretty sure it wouldnt be seriously. You're probably a lot more healthy at the weight you are now!
