My blood report comment says I have hypochromia but my hemoglobin is normal. What is the reason behind it, is this serious or normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hypochromia means pale RBCs, often due to early iron deficiency. Even with normal hemoglobin, iron stores may be low.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a FERRITIN Test or Take a IRON STUDIES (IRON + TIBC) Test

I recently underwent Vamanam, Virechana, and Vasti. Since childhood, I have experienced very poor concentration, difficulty with memory retention (especially verbal), wrinkled and dry skin, continuous gas and bloating. After these three Panchakarma treatments, I felt some improvement, especially in memory retention, though the issue still persists. An allopathy doctor reviewed my blood report and mentioned that I lack certain enzymes and minerals essential for metabolism. He also suggested I may have fatty liver or chronic fatty liver, which could lead to toxins in the blood affecting brain concentration, thinking, and memory. Would undergoing Raktamokshana help me?

I have been suffering from hand tremors and muscle weakness, which affect my ability to perform daily tasks. My hands shake a lot, causing me embarrassment, and this has been happening since I was around 14 to 15 years old.

Is my report normal? Also, what could be the actual cause of my hand tremors and muscle weakness?
