Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am an 18 year old girl. I have been feeling very weak and tired. I am not getting sleep during the night and so I sleep throughout the day and wake up in the evening. I smoke and drink. Last weekend, I felt horribly sick after drinking. I get major headaches at times on the right side of the corner of my head. I have completely reduced smoking as I feel nauseous after I smoke. I got typhoid and dengue before seven months. I had jaundice 4 years back and since then I get pain in my stomach if I dance or run. I want to get healthier. My weight is 44 kg and my face has literally gone including dark circles. My eating habits are pretty bad and I eat after long hours. I really want to get healthy and look better. I want to have stamina as I have become very weak. I used to workout at the gym, but I would feel sick all the time during that phase. Please guide me. And yes, I go through horrible pain during my periods and I go through bad PMS phase. Thank you.

Additionally, considering your history of dengue fever, it is important to assess your hemoglobin and platelet levels. Additionally, considering your history of dengue fever, it is important to assess your hemoglobin and platelet levels. In terms of treatment, I suggest taking Vitamin B12 1000 mcg daily and Vitamin D 5000 IU daily. However, it is crucial to consult your specialist doctor, discuss the treatment plan with them, and take the prescribed medication with their consent.

Thank you doctor,

I will upload the details as soon as possible. Regarding weight, I have always been very thin and not able to gain weight. When I got my platelets checked recently, they were back to normal. There have been times where I have been sick and my tests have been completely clear. I have always been a weak child. I will get back to you with the reports.
