Answered on 25th June '24
Alpha thalassemia major can be present in a patient who does not require blood transfusions. This form of the disorder can result in severe anemia, although it affects people differently. Some individuals may not need a transfusion at all. Signs and symptoms of alpha thalassemia may include fatigue, weakness, or paleness of skin. Treatment may consist of symptom management such as taking supplements or drugs that stimulate the production of more red blood cells within the body. Please consult a doctor for individualized advice.

Male | Jay
A white blood cell count at 12,800 with neutrophils at 42% and lymphocytes at 45% indicates the possibility of an infection. The symptoms may be such as the fever, the fatigue, and body aches. 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 a 7 month old baby's breastfeeding mother. I had a c section delivery but even after 7 months my body weakness is not getting better. Sometime this weakness is fine and sometimes I feel very weak. Now since last 2 3 days I am feeling dizzy, having constipation, acidity and shortness of breath and my wrist and feet are also trembling sometimes. I thought this is anemic symptoms.
Female | 25
I think perhaps you’re showing signs of a lack of iron, which often occurs after having a baby. You might feel weak, lightheaded, out of breath or have trembling hands and feet. You could also get constipated, have heartburn or feel low. Eating red meat, spinach and lentils can help because they are high in this mineral. You might also need to take an iron supplement. But talk to your doctor to make sure that’s what it is and work out a plan for getting better.

I'm a 20 year old male, with one swollen groin lymph node or so it feels that I've discovered about a month and a half ago, it was tender for about the first week but isn't anymore
Male | 20
When you have infections, the lymph nodes in your groin tend to swell up. It could be that there is a simple infection or in some rare cases, something more serious. Since it is now more than a month and there is no pain, this shows positive progress. It would be wise however to see a doctor if they do not go away or you experience any other symptoms.

Male | 6
You might have a sickle cell crisis happening. Sickle-shaped blood cells can clog vessels, blocking oxygen. Headaches, stomach pains, and vomiting signal this crisis. If vomit's green or yellow, it's bile from your stomach. Head to the hospital for treatment.

I am 20F. Since May, I started a new job in May (retail part time as a student). I've been having nosebleeds since then. During summer it was worse when i was working many many hrs, where it happened alongside dizziness and headaches. Its recently happening again on and off since May- sometimes due to stress and dehydration , dust, allergies and the flu (dont know exact cause). It always come from one nostril.
Female | 20
Nosebleeds happen, especially with stress, lack of fluids, or breathing in dust and allergens. One nostril bleeding is usually no biggie. Try drinking more water, avoiding dusty spaces, and using a humidifier. But if it won't quit, best to have a doctor check it.

Male | 9
I.T.P. stands for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. This can occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks the blood platelets your body needs to stop the bleeding. Symptoms include easy bruising, tiny red dots on the skin, and gum bleeding. Treatment may include medications or, in more severe cases, procedures to increase the number of platelets. Don't forget to visit a hematologist for the right treatment.

Male | 26
A bilirubin level of 9.3 is somewhat elevated. It might be an indication that your liver is not functioning properly. This could lead to jaundice, which is a condition wherein your skin and eyes become yellowish. High-bilirubin conditions may be caused by disorders of the liver or red blood cell problems. After treatment of the liver disease, which is the actual cause of high bilirubin levels, normal bilirubin levels could be achieved.

Stem cell transplant for sickling
Female | 13
When red blood cells change shape and get stuck in the body, sickling occurs, which causes pain and infections. It is due to an error in your genetic makeup that you were born with. By providing new cells that create healthy blood, a stem cell transplant may correct this. Eventually, such a therapy could lower the frequency of sickling and improve overall well-being.

Your CD19 level is 52, and you're dealing with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis (MG). Typically, Rituximab is considered when CD19 levels are 20 or lower. Symptoms of MCTD and MG include joint pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Rituximab may help by targeting specific immune cells. It's best to discuss with your doctor to see if it's right for you.

Albumin serum levels tell if your body is balanced. Increased albumin can occur from dehydration, high-protein intake, or medications. You likely won't notice changes. Drink more water and eat balanced meals to help. Discuss concerns with your healthcare provider if needed.

Your WBC count is slightly low at 3.73; RBC is normal at 4.57. NEU is also lower at 1.78. Low WBC suggests weaker immunity, making infections more likely. Have nutritious meals, ample sleep, stay hydrated. If unwell, see a doctor for examination and guidance.

The symptoms you mention - rashes, red dots, hot sensation, and shortness of breath - may be caused by various reasons other than HIV. For instance, stress and anxiety are also potential causes of these symptoms. To be sure, you can ask a doctor.

It is most probable that you have Iron Deficiency Anemia. This is where your blood could be short of healthy red blood cells. Being a little anemic, tiredness, paleness, and shortness of breath may appear. Ingesting foods that are packed with iron such as spinach, meat, and beans can be of great help to this client. Another piece of advice may deal with more iron supplements, they will. Follow the suggestions given by the medical doctor to recover completely.

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.
