I've recently been dealing with concern after recovering from dengue. My platelets had dropped to 26,000, and I had to get a platelet transfusion. At the time, I was feeling okay, but now I'm experiencing some different symptoms. Sometimes, I get this burning sensation in my stomach and out of the blue, my heart starts hurting. It doesn't really match the typical signs of heart pain, but it bothers me. Also, during dengue, my gallbladder was distended, but it's back to normal now. Should I be worried about these new symptoms? What could be causing them?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some gastrointestinal issues and possible heart-related symptoms after recovering from dengue fever. The burning sensation in your stomach could be due to gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to help with the stomach burning. As for the sudden heart pain, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. You can take a low dose of Aspirin 81mg daily to help with any potential heart-related pain. It is also important to continue monitoring your platelet levels and overall health. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
