Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Since a few months, I am feeling dizzy and weak with vomiting sensation and blurred vision. For the past two weeks, I have been feeling shortness of breath and constant headache. I also feel cold in my legs and hands. Sometime, I feel more blood flowing in my head. I am 24 years old. My height is 64.96 inches and weight 110.23 lb. I have a previous history of neck pain. I had neck pain a year ago and was treated with various medications.

Hi,

Based on the reports, your Hemoglobin is slightly low, which could cause breathlessness. It's essential for oxygen transport. If your BP is high, get it and your eyes checked. If BP is fine, relax and take Iron tablets. For headaches, you can have Paracetamol. There's also a concern about 5 to 6 WBC and bacteria in your urine. If you have no urinary problems, you can ignore it. However, if you experience burning micturition or increased frequency, consult your doctor for an antibiotic.

Treatment plan

1. Tablet Ferrikind (Iron) once a day. 2. Paracetamol as and when required.

Regarding follow up

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I will start taking an Iron supplement. My hemoglobin count is low earlier too. I have neck pain since last one year. Can neck pain cause headache? My BP is normally 100/60 mmHg.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. If you experience headaches along with neck pain, it's essential to visit an orthopedician for treatment. They can help address the underlying cause. However, if you also have throbbing pain and nausea accompanying the headaches, it could indicate a migraine. In such cases, it's advisable to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and management.

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