Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 50-year-old women and I am not well for a couple of weeks. I am experiencing migraine like headaches, nausea and digestion issues on a daily basis. My doctor thinks it may be due to stress and put me on a two week heart monitor. However during routine tests, my serum iron and total iron building capacity was high. My WBC has been low for years. I also have a gene defect for two MTHFR genes, and homocysteine is also high. My doctor is not concerned about the same since my oxygen saturation level is 35.7 %. My doctor prescribed an anxiety medicine but I have not started taking but I once took medicine for nausea. I have always been anemic prior to an endometrial ablation that threw me into menopause. Kindly suggest your opinion.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Vitamin B12 deficiency should be ruled out by serum B12 estimation. However, a psychiatrist needs to be consulted if you have an anxiety issue.
Your liver, kidney profile, and electrolytes are within normal range. Share your hemoglobin and hematocrit values for better clarity regarding your anemia status. Headache with nausea strongly suggests migraine.
So migraine or anxiety seems the most appropriate diagnosis for your condition. Consult a psychiatrist and get your medications.
I hope this helps.
