Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been feeling very tired and it is getting worst as it is affecting my day to day activities. I feel very worst because I cannot live my life to the fullest and some times I just cannot go anywhere (since the last 10-11 months). We have done blood test and most of them are normal D3, B12, and some minerals because I have been taking supplements for ages. Here is some history or other symptoms I have if it is helpful.

I have developed headaches since last year and we did MRI and it was normal but it noted sinusitis (headache near forehead and upper eyes). I used to be a skinny guy but I developed pot belly because of junk food and alcohol (very moderate). I have been taking since last two years (stopped for four months).

Since the last five months, I have developed weird stomach issues used to have cramps frequently and indigestion also later developed constipation and then stomach started burning frequently but my family doctor prescribed me unienzyme with Rabeprazole with Domperidone. I think most of them is fixed but still, my stomach keeps burning randomly.

I have atopic dermatitis for 15 years (in legs). My nose is frequently blocked. Since I am an IT person I have low physical activity. I feel my immunity has been lowered because it takes a lot of time to resolve things. My body feels just very tired I cannot even sit properly I just want have to lie down all the time.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from extreme fatigue, tiredness, lack of energy, indigestion, abdominal cramps with burning. You are a known case of sinusitis, atopic dermatitis with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux syndrome).

The clinical features that you have already mentioned may result from low blood glucose, low blood pressure, thyroid hormonal disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, anemia, dehydration, medications, psychological disorders like anxiety, depression, nutritional deficiency, hormonal disturbance, etc.

Treatment depends on causes. You should undergo some investigations such as CBC (complete blood count), RBS (random blood sugar), thyroid function test, serum testosterone, USG (ultrasound) of W/A, ECG (electrocardiography) to exclude the underlying causes for your present sufferings and then treat them accordingly.

In the meantime, you can take Visceralgine and syrup Gaviscon for your abdominal discomfort. In case of any other query knock me and I will try to reply to you further.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Here I have attached the reports you have asked for.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your investigation reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), for several times and found that your triglyceride level is significantly high with high VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) level along with serum IgE level are also high. Your HDL (high density lipoprotein) level is below the normal level. So these markers indicate that you are suffering from allergy with hypertriglyceridemia.

You should avoid dust, mite, smoke, any allergens or irritants. You should also avoid to take oily fatty foods, dairy products, etc. For your high TG level you can take Fenofibrate and for low HDL level, take Omega-3 fatty acid. Do repeat your lipid profile level within three months.

In case of any other query ask me and I will try to reply to you further.

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