Dear Sir or Mam, seven months ago I started having tightening and pain on the left side of my body, including my chest. I have taken a PFT, and my report shows early small airway obstruction. I have visited many doctors, but they have neglected it. I am still suffering from this.

I have been diagnosed with a low fever, less than 99.6, for the past two months. After blood tests, results indicated low hemoglobin, low MCV, MCH, and MCHC, and high RDW. I have attached liver profile test, urine analysis, thyroid, and CBC reports. I was prescribed Livogen, calcium, and magnesium tablets. After three days of taking these tablets, my fever spiked to 100. I am eating better and feel better overall, except for the fever. I do not have fatigue.
