I have been experiencing extreme weakness and fatigue. This started after I had a cough and lung infection in January due to dust. The cough reduced within a week, and everything seemed normal. I have thyroid and take 25 mcg, and my thyroid levels were checked in March and were under good control. Since recovering from the cough, I have lost weight and continue to feel very weak. I was already underweight at 45 kg, and now I am 43 kg. My blood tests from March were normal.

If blood tests are normal, recovery related fatigue is common. Nutritious diet, iron/B12 rich food, or Ayurveda may help. Consult for supplements if symptoms persist.

Good evening sir or madam, please see my test report and suggest remedies and what you think is most relevant for me. My height is 172 cm and my weight is 90 kg. I do not use alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, cold drinks, or oily food. I do approximately 20 minutes of yoga and a daily walk after meals. I eat only 2 to 3 rotis, use dry fruits, hand made juice, and some eggs and non vegetarian food. I am a UPSC aspirant, so I have to study 10 to 12 hours daily. I consume proper water and sleep. Please suggest?

What happens when lymphocytes decrease in our blood?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have taken a blood test. I have elevated RBC and iron binding capacity. Is this normal? This is causing anxiety to me.
