- If possible, have a family member accompany you to provide additional observations.
Risks & possible complications
- Risks are minimal and primarily associated with blood draw (minor bruising, pain, or infection at the puncture site).
- Potential for diagnostic uncertainty if hormone levels are borderline or fluctuate.
- Delay in diagnosis if the cause is non-endocrine, requiring referral to another specialist.
- Rare vasovagal reactions (fainting) during blood collection.
- Anxiety or stress related to the diagnostic process and awaiting results.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery from the diagnostic evaluation is immediate; normal activities can be resumed right after the consultation and blood draw.
- Follow-up is essential to review test results, confirm a diagnosis, and initiate a treatment plan.
- Post-diagnosis, recovery from drowsiness depends on the underlying condition and may involve medication (e.g., thyroid hormone replacement), lifestyle adjustments, and monitoring.

Vikram Malhotra, a 37-year-old software developer...
Vikram Malhotra, a 37-year-old software developer and new father, was battling extreme daytime drowsiness despite getting 7-8 hours of sleep. He feared he was failing at work and as a parent. His endocrinologist, noting his slightly elevated calcium levels on a routine test, suspected hyperparathyroidism, where a benign gland tumor disrupts calcium and hormone balance, often causing fatigue. The doctor recommended a sestamibi parathyroid scan to locate the overactive gland. The scan involved a quiet hour after a simple IV injection of a tracer. It successfully identified a single adenoma. Vikram felt validated, his fatigue had a physical cause. He underwent minimally invasive surgery to remove the gland. Recovery was quick, and within a month, his energy levels soared. Emotionally, he transitioned from guilt and helplessness to immense relief and joy, finally able to fully engage with his newborn daughter and his work.
