My wife has been experiencing shortness of breath for the last four days along with nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, nervousness, and anxiety. All her vital signs are within normal range including an oxygen saturation of 98 percent and her blood report is also normal. She is a breastfeeding mother of a two month old child. We have consulted both a medicine specialist and a gastroenterologist and they have suggested that the problem is related to anxiety. We are concerned whether this could be something else or possibly COVID. Please guide.

Symptoms may be due to postpartum anxiety or hormonal shifts. Blood reports and vitals are fine, which is reassuring. To rule out anaemia as a precaution, get a CBC analysis done and report it.

Should I be worried if my doctor wants to do more blood tests?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir, I am 23 years old and have been suffering from indigestion for the past one year. I do not have any fever. My blood test results are: Hemoglobin is 10.10, TLC is 19200, Polymorphs is 83, Lymphocytes is 15, Monocytes is 01. The rest, including eosinophils, basophils, RBC count, platelet count, and ESR, are within the reference range. Could you please suggest what this indicates and what I should do?

My wife has Thalassemia Minor, while my blood report for Thalassemia is negative. In this situation, what are the chances of our baby having Thalassemia? Should we proceed with having a child? Will the child be able to lead a healthy life?
