Hi Doctor, My mother has high blood pressure and thyroid issues. In the past, she has undergone multiple surgeries, including three hernia operations, appendix removal, and a sterilization procedur, around 11 operations in total. Could you please advise about COVID19 vaccination for her? Specifically, which tests should be done before vaccination, and what parameters in the blood report should be within normal limits?

COVID vaccine is safe. Ensure BP and thyroid are stable. Recommend CBC, TSH, creatinine, ECG before vaccination if elderly or with comorbidities.

Hello doctor, I have lower back pain since evening, along with gastric issues and a lot of tiredness. I was COVID positive 5 months back and I am also a hypochondria patient. I read that lower back pain and tiredness can be related to blood cancer, which makes me scared. My blood report in February was normal. Please suggest genuine advice?

It has been almost 2 months that I have been suffering from cough and cold. My blood report indicates a cold infection. Even after completing the course of antibiotics, I have not found much relief. I still have terrible coughing fits at times, which sometimes cause me to choke. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?
