Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your symptoms can be due to many conditions, but my first suspicion is a liver problem. Apart from liver problem it can be due to,

Anemia.
Vitamin deficiency.
Indigestion leading to malabsorption.
Problems in pancreas and gut.

I would recommend tests called liver function test, complete hemogram and ultrasound abdomen. Revert back with the reports. Till then avoid eating oily foods, non-vegetarian foods. Try to eat more of vegetables and fruits.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the follow-up.

I went through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and it is normal, except for mild elevation in GGT. It means that your problem is just due to vitamin deficiency.

I recommend you to start using tablet Nurakind D3 once a day for one month, and you shall feel better.
