Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I cannot breathe properly and I burp every few minutes. And I am always dizzy and pale. Please help.

Answered by Dr. Ajeet Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You might be suffering from low hemoglobin. The causes are many, but to start I want you to get some tests to help diagnose the problem.

The possibilities are celiac disease, H pylori infections, food allergies, giardiasis, and autoimmune enteropathy. You also look low for your body weight in this age.

I want to know how much blood you lose on monthly cycles? If it is a large amount, then it is one of the possibilities of you having low hemoglobin. Please check yourself.

The Probable causes

Anemia with anemic symptoms.

Investigations to be done

Complete blood count. Iron profile. Vitamin B12 and folate. Anti TTG, IgA, IgG. Stools for H pylori TSH, FT4, FT3.

Differential diagnosis

Excessive menstrual loss. H pylori. Giardiasis. Malnutrition.

Regarding follow up

Follow up to discuss the management plan.

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