Q. What can be the cause of prolonged macrocytosis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Macrocytosis can be present because of hypothyroidism, alcohol, liver disease, etc. Your TSH value is within the limit. So, I do not think a thyroid problem can be the cause.
• You can get the following tests to rule out liver and kidney problem:
• • 1. SGOT (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase)
    2. SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase)
    3. Serum urea.
    4. Creatinine.
• For palpitation, investigate with EKG (electrocardiogram). Check your calcium level also.
• If needed, further work up can be done with NCV (nerve conduction velocity) or EMG (electromyography) investigation.
• If no significant cause is found, then a history of stress and anxiety should be ruled out, which can lead to a headache with palpitation. Consult a neurologist if needed, for an examination and discuss your case.

Take care. Hope this information will help you.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
