Asked for Female | 18 Years

Hello.I'm 18 years old.(female)I have been diagnosed with anemia, I'm not sure if my anemia is mild or moderate though.I have been taking iron supplements for 1 month till now currently.My iron level was 8.5 micromol/L one month ago,my hemoglobin was dropped,including my MCV,MCH,MCHC.I was experiencing symptoms such as racing heart beat,no appetite,my jaw felt shaky, dizziness, lightheadedness,fatigue...Now most of my symptoms are gone but I sometimes feel very dizzy still and I sometimes can't do daily tasks because of my dizziness,I'm curious is it normal to have more prominent symptoms and does this symptom still come from the anemia itself? even if this is mild anemia,does anemia itself manifest more prominently in obese patients because I'm currently overweight,thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for your query

"As" per your clinical history is concerned please do a fresh test of hemoglobin and if it is less than 12 then continue medication as suggested by your treating doctor,add vitamin B complex -(Neurobion Plus Tab) and multivitamin cap (Absolute 3G) once a day for 30 days.

Hope that helps,

Regards,
