Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My sister, who is 27 years old, has been struggling with issues like difficulty focusing on tasks, forgetfulness, impulsivity, and restlessness. I am concerned about her well-being and want to support her. Could you please guide us on how we can help her at this stage and explore ways to address these symptoms, especially in the initial stages?

Thanks.

Answered by Dr. Sugreev Singh

Hi there

Welcome to icliniq.com

I understand your concern.

If these symptoms occurred without any reason, then they can be treated with medicines, but if she has been like this since birth, then it will be challenging to treat. So, if it is recently developed, then it can be due to hormonal deficiencies or vitamin deficiencies that can cause such symptoms. I suggest you do a few tests, such as CBC (complete blood count), TFT (thyroid function test), and LFT (liver function test). After that, you can send me reports. I will check and let you know. Please tell me

  1. Did she develop these symptoms recently?
  2. What is her body weight?
  3. Is she taking any medicine currently?

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Treatment plan

I suggest you to take one tablet of multivitamin before sleeping for 15 days.

Preventive measures

Give her plenty of fluids such as water and juices.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
