Question 1

I've been dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency for a couple of months and started getting B12 injections weekly for six weeks. I just got my levels checked again, and now they're over 2000. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Also, I have some other blood work results like hemoglobin at 15, platelets at 346, and WBC at 7800. I'm curious if these are all interconnected somehow. What's going on with my blood tests?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

I gave a blood sample for my thyroid yesterday, and now the spot on my arm has turned black and green and there's some swelling. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?

Accepted Answer

1. Taking Dolo 650 (paracetamol) before or after COVID-19 vaccination is generally safe to alleviate fever and body ache. However, consult your doctor or vaccination provider for personalized advice.
2. COVID-19 vaccination is generally safe for depression patients aged 64 and above. However, inform your vaccination provider about your depression and any medications you're taking to ensure necessary precautions.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my hemoglobin levels. In July, my HB was at 8.7, and now it's dropped to 5.8. I've already done all the blood-related tests, but they haven't shown any issues. I'm wondering if drinking red wine could help increase my hemoglobin. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Red wine can provide some iron, but it's not a reliable or significant source to increase hemoglobin. If your hemoglobin is very low, it's important to focus on iron-rich foods, supplements, and follow up with your doctor to find the underlying cause.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with low platelet levels for about a year now, and I've noticed that every morning I wake up with a cough that brings up dark blood. On top of that, I've been having chronic cough and cold issues. What steps should I take to address these problems?

Ecg and sputum for AFB and microscopy is advised to the patient.
