Start with ECG, chest X ray, and CBC. Depending on findings, your doctor may suggest cardiac enzymes or an ECHO. If breathless, a chest CT may help.

Why do we have low blood cell count?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am having back pain since long and my skin under my eyes burns when I close my eyes. I had a blood report a month back but my parents are not telling me what it is. I overheard them saying that I would not live for more than four years. Please help me, I feel like I am already dying. I have been suggested to have bitter gourd and spinach, all things boiled?

I had swollen lymph nodes measuring 1.2 by 0.7 cm in the posterior neck. The FNAC report is reactive. I have two blood reports, one from 27 February and one from 21 April. Is there anything I need to worry about? The node has been persistent for six months.
