No, hardly it will take a few investigations for better diagnosis

Take a OMEGA - 3 & OMEGA - 6 FATTY ACID Test or Take a Apollo Vitamin Check (Vit D + Vit B12) Test

I have been taking medication for anxiety for the past 5 years, mostly on an SOS basis. After recovering from COVID last year, I began experiencing occasional weakness and dizziness, but these symptoms would come and go. However, in the last 10 days, the symptoms have returned more consistently. I have attached my medical report.

My father has easily bruising skin during a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report which shows a low platelet count that may indicate a purpura like condition.
