With your medical history, it is crucial to regularly attend your doctor's appointments for the purpose of keeping your iron level under control. If anemia is left untreated, the individual might experience tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness. Consumption of iron-containing foods like lean meat, beans, and spinach will aid your health. You should visit your doctor for checkups.

My nephew is 4 months old. 2 months ago he went I'll . we had to take him blood transfusion immediately because the HB was dropped to 4 only . now the things happen again at the age of 4 months . we had to take him again blood transfusion. we did his Electrophoresis Report. here are the results HbA 55% HbA2 2.0% HbF 43% we want to know if there's any thelesmia or not or if HbA can be increase with age

Male | 4 months

An elevated level of HbF was what was observed and this is a common thing found in babies. Such results would indicate that a defect might be present in the body like beta-thalassemia at the beginning. However, these could also be seen in healthy infants. Increasing HbA levels naturally may follow his growing up. The main symptoms of anemia can cause fatigue or weakness, but it’s very important to take your child to a doctor and test for other reasons.

I am 46 years old . In annual health check up in urine protine is traced & pus cell count found 18-20 . In complete blood picture (CBP) ,Eosinophils count and Absolute Eosinophil count is zero . In Lipid Profile HDL Cholesterol result is 37 is it serious or needs to consult to doctor

Female | 46

Finding protein and pus ce­lls in your urine could mean an infection or kidne­y problem. Zero Eosinophils? That might show you're not re­sponding well to certain allergie­s. And low HDL cholesterol puts you at higher risk for he­art disease. It's smart to talk to a doctor about these­ results. They can take a close­r look and tell you what to do next.

I'm 21 years old women I've a question today i had a CBC 1 blood test and 3 days back i smoked cigarette will my doctor be able to make out by seeing my blood reports that i smoked ?

Female | 21

Cigarette smoking tends to impact the results of CBC blood tests but they don’t directly reveal it. By increasing your white blood cell count, smoking may indicate signs of inflammation or an infection to a physician. Tell truthfully about your smoking habits when asked by healthcare practitioners so that they can provide appropriate treatment for you.

I'm an 18 year old female who thinks she may have Raynaud's? These are my symptoms. ### Raynaud’s Phenomenon: - **Fingers and Hands**: - Frequent color changes in response to cold, stress, or pressure: fingers turning white/yellow, blue/purple, and red during rewarming. - Numbness, pain, and stiffness, especially in cold water or when exposed to cold air. - Fingernails occasionally turn blue, particularly when nervous. - Fingers often go white under light pressure, but color returns after. - Red, painful, and numb fingers, especially when handling cold objects or after cold exposure. - Hands sometimes go pale/white in cold water, with visible blue veins. When they warm up it can feel tingly and intense heat and sometimes burning and uncomfortableness. - Ridges and a light white color underneath fingernails. - A small cut on your hand is taking longer than usual to heal. But cuts in general too. - **Feet and Toes**: - Feet often turn purple or blue when sitting still for long periods, especially without socks. - Numbness and coldness in feet, particularly when standing still or exposed to cold. - Toes sometimes appear weirdly purple/light blue/gray after cold exposure. - Difficulty standing and walking due to numbness and pain in feet, particularly in cold environments. - **General Cold Sensitivity**: - Need to wear multiple layers and use hot water bottles/heat packs to stay warm, especially at night or when sitting still. - Lips sometimes turn blue or darken when cold, especially during Raynaud’s attacks. - Occasional episodes of feeling cold despite being in a warm environment. - **Pain and Discomfort**: - Discomfort in hands and feet during cold exposure, sometimes making it difficult to perform tasks or move. ### Recent Observations: - **Improvement**: - Hands have been warmer than usual recently, with fewer Raynaud’s attacks. - **Persistent Issues**: - A cut on your hand that is slow to heal, potentially due to reduced blood circulation. - Ongoing need to protect hands and feet from cold to prevent Raynaud’s attacks.

Female | 18

It appears like you have Raynaud's Phenomenon. The condition makes your fingers and toes to change color, cause the cold and numb feeling, particularly, when you are exposed to cold or stress. This is due to blood vessels in your extremities overreacting to these triggers, thus, decreasing blood flow. The best way to do this is to wear warm clothes, gloves, and socks, and also avoid the cold that triggers such episodes.

I am 22 years old and having normal diet frequently .But i don't see my muscle mass is increasing. It's like khana kha raha hui par pata nhi kaha ja raha hai. (1)Can u suggest me better diet plan in terms of increasing my muscle density. (2) Can i take whey protein powder as form of daily protein intake without doing gym ?

Male | 22

To do this, eat foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans for protein. Also, have a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for your health in general. It is alright to take whey protein powder as a supplement, but it would be most effective if used with regular exercises that build muscles. Always keep in mind that working out is essential for muscle development!

It's important to address each of your conditions with a specialist to manage your health effectively. Please consult an ENT specialist and a gastroenterologist for the maxillary mucosal disease and pseudo pancreatic cyst. For your bipolar affective disorder and associated symptoms like fatigue and heart rate irregularities, continue following up with your psychiatrist.

I get attacks of thirst (dry mouth included), dizzy and unwell followed by feeling tired and a headache later in the day. This happens weekly (week n half most) used to be once a month or so. Previous bloods showed low folic, elevated bilirubin and b12 but no proper answers or directions.

Male | 38

You may be dehydrated, which can cause a dry mouth, dizziness, and tiredness. Low folic acid and high bilirubin levels might also be factors. Try drinking more water and eating leafy greens and citrus fruits for folic acid. If symptoms persist, see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Hi my wife suffering with feaver and vormtings and legs pain.. yesterday blood test done..WBC below 3800 but she is looking very sick ...

Female | 24

Based on her symptoms—fever, vomiting, leg pain, and a low white blood cell count—she likely has an infection. This can cause significant discomfort. Antibiotics may help her immune system fight the infection. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest to recover faster.

The reasons can be a bacterial or viral infection. Stay home, drink fluids, and eat well. If the symptoms are getting worse or not disappearing, you have to see a doctor immediately.

I am having red mucus in colour, please consult a doctor

Female | 21

Red mucus is often a sign of bleeding in certain areas of your body, such as the nose, throat, or stomach. If it’s coming from your mouth, it could be related to a lung issue. This might be caused by an infection, irritation, or a more serious condition like pneumonia. It's important to see a doctor for an evaluation. They may run tests such as blood work, X-rays, or a bronchoscopy to identify the cause. Treatment for the bleeding will depend on its source, so it's best to get checked as soon as possible.

Good day doc, I noticed some traces of blood in my mucur. What could be the possible cause and solution

Male | 29

When you find some blood in mucus, it can indicate several ailments. Possible reasons could be a nosebleed, irritation by dry air, or an infection such as sinusitis. If you are facing a runny nose, pain in your face, or a sore throat, that could be a sign of an infection. Drinking a lot of water, using a humidifier, and visiting a doctor if it persists are the ways to go.

I have tested my iron deficiency today and it was low so can i take "Astyfer-Z hematinic with amino acids vitamins and zinc liquid syrup" Which my father bought from a medical store and asked to take 10ml per day , is it okey to take it

Male | 21

Iron deficiency can cause you to have low energy, feel weak, and may lead to malfunctioning of the human body. This is due to the insufficient intake of iron-rich foods and blood loss. Aspyfer-Z syrup boosts iron levels in your body and contains iron, amino acids, B-group vitamins, and zinc. It can be done under the supervision of your father but ensure you get a follow-up guide from a doctor.

Female | 20

You might have been affected by an infection with a virus that has in turn caused a blood infection which in turn may cause joint pains in your legs. Antibiotics can disrupt the equilibrium of our body's good bacteria, causing joint pain. For relief of the joint pains, you can try gently exercising, using heat or ice treatment, and taking a break. Stay well-hydrated and eat fresh and good foods to provide adequate support to your body during the healing process.

Platelet count noly. 5000

Male | 9

A platelet count of 5000 is very low. Platelets are small UCS in your blood that support the process of transporting blood to your body. When your count is low you could experience symptoms such as easy bleeding, a lot of bruises, or have nosebleeds. Low platelets can be a side effect of several medicines, infections, or diseases. To tackle the problem, doctors may either prescribe medication or transfuse safe platelets.
