My wife complains that she breathes heavily if she walks a few meters, runs, lifts heavy weight or does housework like floor cleaning. Her blood report shows haemoglobin 11.3 and blood sugar is normal. What steps should I take in this situation?

Breathlessness may be due to low normal haemoglobin or other issues like vitamin deficiency or heart/lung causes. A cardiac evaluation and pulmonary function test are advised. Please consult a physician.

Which blood test is used to detect an internal hemorrhage?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Last year I had dengue, and again 3 months ago, I contracted dengue. To monitor my health, I usually get a CBC done every 30 to 45 days, and I have noticed that my lymphocyte count is gradually increasing, initially it was 20.6 percent, then 36 percent, and now it is 48 percent, which is worrying me. My current symptoms include numbness and cramps in the hands, occasional pain in the armpits, and ear pain. I also go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a day, usually after breakfast or lunch. Please guide me on whether this is serious, the further steps I should take, and if possible, suggest a diet to maintain healthy lymphocyte levels. I am attaching my CBC lab reports for your reference.

Please provide a detailed analysis of this blood test report and advise as soon as possible. The patient has been coughing for more than four weeks and has not experienced any cold. What could be the possible cause of this persistent cough?
