Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
these kind of feature may be seen after menoapause but we should not neglect it but rule out other causes like , tuberculosis, hypothyroidism,Anaemia or intermittent fever etc,as a safer side.
First you should provide me some more information to make correct diagnosis :
is you complaint associated with :
loss of appetite and
loss of weight in past 2-3 month
weakness,
cough,
swelling in lower limb,
chills or rigor .
As you said you are having low RBC count so there are hgher chances of anemia is there but you dont need to worrry ,I suggest you some investigation to help you in confirmation of diagnosis.
1.Complete blood count .
2.Peripheral blood film examination for blood parasite.
2.Thyroid profile
review me after require detail and investigation report to receive complete treatment .
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
