Question 1

Hi, my blood report includes the remark ALERT, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes. I would like to understand what this means. My report shows, Hemoglobin is 12.8 g/dL, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 g/dL, RDWSD is 59.3 fL, RDWCV is 14.4 percent. Could you please explain the significance of these findings?

Question 2

I am a 27 year old male with functional dyspepsia. Most foods upset me, so I have to follow a restricted diet. I am under treatment, but the medicines do not help much. If I do not take a short sleep between 1 and 4 p.m., I develop headaches, forehead pain, and eye pain, which prevents me from studying in the evening. If I take a one hour nap, these problems do not occur, but it affects my nighttime sleep. It is not possible to nap during the day because I have to attend college. All my blood reports are normal. Please suggest a solution?

Question 3

My recent complete blood count test report is attached. I have been suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency and experiencing pins and needles for the last three years. This is my latest CBC report. Can you please evaluate the details?

My fathers blood report shows deficiency of B12 (102 pg/mL). Please recommend suitable medicine for the same?

A B12 level of 102 pg/ml is definitely low. Start Methylcobalamin supplements (like 1500 mcg/day). Also include foods like eggs, dairy, and fortified cereals. If severe, a B12 injection (1000 mcg IM weekly) may be advised by your physician.
