I'm having some trouble breathing, mostly when I'm walking or at night. It feels like there's something blocking my nose, and sometimes I get a mild chest pain. I saw in my blood test that my hemoglobin is at 10.3gm. I'm just wondering, could these symptoms be because of my low blood count or is there something else going on?

View allI'm really concerned about my mom. She had Covid, but thankfully she recovered and tested negative about two weeks ago. However, we've noticed her D Dimer level is now 675mg. Is it normal for blood to become thicker after testing negative for Covid? Also, her CRP level is up to 10. Is there a chance of reinfection, or is this something else I should be worried about?
continue the covid tablets which your consultant given!! no need to recheck

I'm a bit worried because I need to have an operation soon, and my haemoglobin level is only at 9.7. Do you have any advice on how I can raise it quickly?
I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tablets once daily. Additionally, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens. Vitamin C can also help with iron absorption, so consider taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming foods high in Vitamin C like citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery and hemoglobin production.

I recently got my blood test results back and while most of my levels are normal, my EST came in at 65. I'm a 21-year-old female and the report mentioned a 'normocytic normochromic blood picture.' I'm a bit confused and curiouswhat exactly does a normocytic normochromic blood picture mean? Is this something I should be worried about?
NORMOCYTIC NORMOCHROMIC BLOOD PICTURE means that the size and color of your red blood cells are normal. This is a good sign as it indicates that your red blood cells are healthy and functioning properly. In your case, with an Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) of 65, it may indicate inflammation or infection in your body.
