Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 23-year-old female, measuring height 62 inches and weighing 115.74 pounds Lately, I have been dealing with symptoms including dizziness, lethargy, difficulty in breathing, rapid breathing during mild activities like changing bed sheets, easy fatigability, and occasional mild chest pain. I recently had a complete blood count (CBC) done, which showed normal results except for a slightly elevated RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width) and anisopoikilocytosis observed in the peripheral film. My blood pressure is 90/58 mmHg, and I am not currently taking any medications. Throughout my life, I have experienced persistent difficulties with breathing. Despite this longstanding issue, the underlying cause remains unknown to me. It feels incredibly challenging for me to fully catch my breath. In my most recent complete blood count (CBC) conducted four years ago, the results revealed anisopoikilocytosis, as well as low levels of MCH, MCHC, and MCV. I have not taken any medications for any health concerns during this time. The complete blood count (CBC) analysis revealed elevated RDW (red cell distribution width) and anisopoikilocytosis upon examination of the peripheral film. On the other hand, both liver function tests (LFTs) and thyroid function tests (TFTs) yielded normal results. Throughout my life, I have experienced persistent difficulties with breathing.

Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
Low blood pressure and vitamin deficiencies can indeed contribute to the symptoms you are experiencing. Increasing your fluid intake, such as drinking juices, water, and lemon water, can help raise your blood pressure and improve your overall well-being.
In addition, I recommend incorporating regular exercise into your routine if you are not already doing so. Exercise has numerous benefits, including improving circulation and cardiovascular health, which can help regulate blood pressure.
Regarding the vitamin deficiencies you mentioned, taking a calcium and vitamin D3 supplement before bedtime can be beneficial.
I hope this answer helped you,
Thank you.
