Hi, my blood report includes the remark ALERT, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes. I would like to understand what this means. My report shows, Hemoglobin is 12.8 g/dL, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 g/dL, RDWSD is 59.3 fL, RDWCV is 14.4 percent. Could you please explain the significance of these findings?

Your report suggests mild anemia with enlarged red cells (macrocytes) and oval shaped cells. This pattern is often seen in B12 or folate deficiency. It is not alarming but needs further evaluation and correction. Please consult your doctor.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a VITAMIN B12 AND FOLATE Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I recently underwent Vamanam, Virechana, and Vasti. Since childhood, I have experienced very poor concentration, difficulty with memory retention (especially verbal), wrinkled and dry skin, continuous gas and bloating. After these three Panchakarma treatments, I felt some improvement, especially in memory retention, though the issue still persists. An allopathy doctor reviewed my blood report and mentioned that I lack certain enzymes and minerals essential for metabolism. He also suggested I may have fatty liver or chronic fatty liver, which could lead to toxins in the blood affecting brain concentration, thinking, and memory. Would undergoing Raktamokshana help me?

Due to skin allergy and hair loss I consulted a skin doctor. My lab report shows vitamin B12 deficiency and very low ferritin levels, but the skin doctor did not give any treatment for that. Please help me and give suggestions as I am in urgent need?

Hi, I am experiencing numbness in the last two fingers of my right hand, mostly in the mornings when I wake up. I am not diabetic (post meal sugar: 133). Previously, I had significant drooping of my right eyelid, which was evaluated by neurologists and an ophthalmologist, and nerve tests were normal, only vitamin deficiencies were found. After taking vitamins, my eyelid improved. However, now this intermittent numbness in my fingers every alternate morning is worrying me. Could this indicate a serious condition that I need to be alert about? Please advise. Thank you in advance.
