I'm really concerned about my wife. She was dealing with weakness because of low hemoglobin levels and we consulted a physician for treatment. She felt much better for a while, but now the problem with low hemoglobin is back again. Could you please advise us on what we should do next?

View allI've been dealing with some discomfort since I had an IV put in during my recent hospital visit. There's a pretty bad bruise and the area has been painful for about a week now. I'm really starting to get worried about it. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it normal for this to happen?
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain and bruising after the IV. It's normal to feel some discomfort, but if it's been a week and you're still in pain or notice increased swelling, redness, or warmth around the area, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any complications.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's done over 4 blood tests, and each one shows her B12 level is really high. She's not really sick or anything, but lately she's been feeling dizzy, and I'm wondering if it could be related to her diet. Should we be worried about how high her B12 is?
It should not be a cause for worry if Vitamin B12 levels are high. Her dizziness may be related to BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). You should take her to an ENT specialist to get a confirmed diagnosis.

I'm trying to understand my lab report and I've got some questions. It's mentioned as "Remarks ALERT," and says something about "Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes." Can you help me make sense of that? My Hemoglobin is at 12.8, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 gdL, RDW-SD is 59.3 fL, and RDW-CV is 14.4. Is there something I should be concerned about? What do these terms mean in terms of my health?
The report indicates that your red blood cells are mostly normal in size and color (normocytic, normochromic), but there are also some abnormally large (macrocytes) and oval-shaped cells present. This could suggest a possible vitamin deficiency or other underlying condition. Your hemoglobin level is normal, but the high MCV (mean corpuscular volume) may point to macrocytosis. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor to understand the cause.
