To know if your iron levels are low get a blood test done preferably a CBC or a full body check up.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a THYROID PROFILE WITH ANTITHYROID ANTIBODIES Test

My blood report is abnormal. It shows low Basophils Absolute Count 0.01, high Total RBC 6.02, low MCV 62, low MCH 17.4, low MCHC 28.2, and high RDW CV 20.2. I need to understand if I should be worried?

I have been experiencing skin loss in the middle region of my tongue for over 1.5 years. I have already taken several vitamin supplements, including B12, and my blood tests appear normal. I am not diabetic. I am highly sensitive to spicy foods, which causes loosening of the upper palate area. I also experience dry mouth at night and occasionally remove candida growth using a soft brush. Could this be atrophic glossitis?
