My wife has been experiencing shortness of breath for the last four days along with nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, nervousness, and anxiety. All her vital signs are within normal range including an oxygen saturation of 98 percent and her blood report is also normal. She is a breastfeeding mother of a two month old child. We have consulted both a medicine specialist and a gastroenterologist and they have suggested that the problem is related to anxiety. We are concerned whether this could be something else or possibly COVID. Please guide.

Symptoms may be due to postpartum anxiety or hormonal shifts. Blood reports and vitals are fine, which is reassuring. To rule out anaemia as a precaution, get a CBC analysis done and report it.

Sir, I have checked my blood report in which platelets are 100 only, but my health condition is normal. No fever, no bone pain, no tiredness. I do not understand what the problem is with me. Please help me, my report is attached with it.

My period started on 5th January and the flow ended on 11th January. However, since then, I have been experiencing spotting once a day, every day. I am a bit concerned and would like to know if this is normal. I have attached my reports from the past few months for your reference.
