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.

I'm really concerned about my recent test results and hoping you can help me make sense of them. I got a 1g Jilazo injection back in May when my ferritin was 14 ngml, total iron was 80 mcgdL, TIBC was 339 mcgdL, and Hb was 9.7 gdL. I've got beta thalassemia trait and was told to take Folvite and Quicobal 1500 mcg. When I got tested again in August, my Hb dropped to 9.3, TIBC was 242 mcgdL when it normally should be between 265 and 297, total iron was down to 70 mcgdL, and ferritin had jumped to 280 ngmL, way higher than the normal 13 to 150 ngdL range. I'm worried if the high ferritin and low TIBC are because of the Jilazo injection, and I'm trying to understand why my Hb and iron levels have decreased. Does high ferritin mean something bad, and should I be concerned since I also have Acidic GERD and Grade A Esophagitis? Would love your thoughts.
