I am taking diabetic medication, Uprise D3 weekly, and Rejunex CD3 daily for the last 3 days but I am feeling tired and have a little headache. Do I need to start some medication to increase iron and RBC along with the above medication? My blood report shows iron count 55 and RBC count 4.44.

Fatigue can be due to borderline low iron. Iron supplements may help, especially if ferritin is low. Check for B12 deficiency as well. Please do the required serum ferritin and B12 tests.

I am feeling severe buttock pain and lower back pain with a burning sensation. Today I did a blood report. Please look at my reports.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is my report normal? What medication is needed to increase my chances of becoming a father? I do not drink, but my blood test from five months ago showed Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiency. Please advise.

I am currently taking Selekon XL 50 mg and Amfast 40 mg for blood pressure, which is well controlled. My weight is 65 kg and my height is 5.6. However, over the past few days, I have been experiencing symptoms such as stomach bloating, weakness, tiredness, tinnitus, numbness in fingers while sleeping, and a sensation of hot feet. My recent blood test showed a low Vitamin B12 level at 172.9 pg per mL. Additionally, my VLDL is 51 and my cholesterol/HDL ratio is 6.46. I am looking for suggestions on how to manage these issues and whether any treatment or lifestyle changes are needed. Thank you.
