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.

Question

I am a 27 year old male with functional dyspepsia. Most foods upset me, so I have to follow a restricted diet. I am under treatment, but the medicines do not help much. If I do not take a short sleep between 1 and 4 p.m., I develop headaches, forehead pain, and eye pain, which prevents me from studying in the evening. If I take a one hour nap, these problems do not occur, but it affects my nighttime sleep. It is not possible to nap during the day because I have to attend college. All my blood reports are normal. Please suggest a solution?
