Fallon Sherrock plans to take "a year out" in 2026 as she tries to rediscover her best form.
The 30-year-old is one of the leading women in the game, having made history in 2019 by winning two matches at the World Championship.
She has suffered from health problems for many years relating to her kidneys and has admitted her game is currently being affected.
Sherrock, who does not have Tour card and competes in the Women's Series, believes the "sky is the limit" after a rest.
"I feel like it will be my B-game [at the moment] and I don’t know if I am able to get my A-game out," Sherrock told YouTube channel Online Darts.
"If I’m going to have a year out next year I want to make a bang this year. I want to try to get to everything even if I’m not playing 100%.
"I need to sort myself out, get myself well and then the sky is the limit.
"All I want to do is practise at home for a couple of hours a day and I can’t do that at the moment, so it is difficult.
"I’ve had to pull out of some exhibitions recently because I haven’t had the stamina.
"I have had to narrow down what I am playing in at the moment, and that hurts because I love darts.
"Fingers crossed that in a couple of years’ time I’ll be alright and back to winning well."
