Question 1

Last week I had a full body check up, and my blood test showed several abnormalities. My hemoglobin (11.9), MCV (78.9), and MCH (25.4) were all below the reference range, while RDW was high (14.4). RBC morphology showed hypochromia and microcytosis, with mild anisocytosis. Basophils and absolute basophil count were both 0. In kidney function tests, serum urea was low (16.38), and in liver function tests, the A/G ratio was below reference (1.13). ESR was elevated at 28. My iron profile was also low, serum iron (39), UIBC (141), and TIBC (180). Lipid profile showed low CHOL/HDL ratio (3.13) and LDL/HDL ratio (1.73). Vitamin levels were deficient, with Vitamin B12 at 129 and Vitamin D at 10.8. Thyroid and diabetes tests were normal. The hematology report mentioned hypochromia, microcytosis, and mild anisocytosis, and advised serum iron studies, serum ferritin, and abnormal hemoglobin study. Please suggest appropriate medicines for these conditions.

Question 2

Two years ago, my doctor prescribed Encicarb and Nervigen. Can I take these medications again? I also need to know the correct doses. My recent blood test shows my iron level is 17.

Question 3

I have been feeling extremely tired and my blood work showed low serum iron (9) and low vitamin D. My doctor advised me to take 325 mg of Ferrous Glutamate and 2000 mg of vitamin D daily. I have been on this regimen for a year, but recently I doubled the dose for two days and then started my period two weeks early. Could this be related to the change in dosage?

Ferritin of 22 suggests low iron stores, possibly causing fatigue and symptoms. Discuss iron supplementation and rule out cervical spine or ENT issues.
