I'm getting my bloods done tomorrow and i'm a bit stressed on which tests to ask for? I am getting a full blood panel (which im not really sure what that tests for) and getting tested for celiac disease. My symptoms are- pale ashen skin complexion, fatigue, brain fog, puffy face, dizziness, blurry vision, cold hands and feet, bloating, excessive gas, intolerance to exercise, shortness of breath.

Also sorry if this is posted on the wrong group.

You may also benefit from writing down your list of symptoms, or filling in a checklist like the examples here, as sometimes it helps you doctor if they can see everything together:
