I have been experiencing extreme weakness and fatigue. This started after I had a cough and lung infection in January due to dust. The cough reduced within a week, and everything seemed normal. I have thyroid and take 25 mcg, and my thyroid levels were checked in March and were under good control. Since recovering from the cough, I have lost weight and continue to feel very weak. I was already underweight at 45 kg, and now I am 43 kg. My blood tests from March were normal.

If blood tests are normal, recovery related fatigue is common. Nutritious diet, iron/B12 rich food, or Ayurveda may help. Consult for supplements if symptoms persist.

What causes a low RDW in a hematology test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 37 years old and have had irregular periods for the past two years. Once my periods start they do not stop for 15 days. My report shows 12 mm endometrium thickness and a bulky uterus. I am now on the 13th day of bleeding. I have been prescribed Musli Kairadi Kashayam with Prawal Bhasma before food and Kutajarishtam 15 ml after food. Is it fine to take?

I have a CBC test and peripheral smear test today. I had sex at 3 AM today, and my blood test is scheduled in 4 to 5 hours. Should I postpone it until tomorrow, or will it not affect my results? Please help.
