Brief Answer:
Symptoms typical for panic, stress, anxiety, etc.

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

At times, the body takes a while to recover, especially for long illnesses like the one you just experienced. This is the physical stress your body is under, which it is slowly getting out of.

But there are various other factors like change in weather, emotional or physical stress or trauma, change in water, change in diet or life style, etc. If any of these factors are present then these could also contribute to the symptoms you are experiencing.

As for the exact symptoms of hair loss and chest tightness, these two symptoms are more often associated with stress, anxiety, panic, etc. I would advise you to stop stressing over this and consult your doctor to help guide you to better health and to also help you relax.

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
We need to rule out all other factors ma'am

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.

Although your symptoms can be related to stress, anxiety, etc; we should always make sure all other conditions are ruled out, and not assume a diagnosis.

I do strongly feel all causes such as a thyroid abnormality, hormonal imbalance, etc; need to be ruled out before assuming stress to be the cause for your symptoms ma'am. I do agree with the fact that a thorough physical evaluation is required.

Please go about a thorough evaluation and write to me with all the reports ma'am. I shall go through them and predict the result for you. Investigations can include:
-Thyroid hormone levels
-Estrogen level
-Complete blood count

These should suffice for now ma'am, and if there are any indications of an abnormality we can order more investigations in that direction from there.

Looking forward to help you further and wishing you nothing but good health.

Best wishes ma'am.

Brief Answer:
Suspecting nutritional deficiency as cause sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

I have gone through your reports and everything seems to be normal except for your serum alkaline phosphate levels. Low alkaline phosphate levels can be the cause for the chest tightness, but not the hair loss.

It is important to note that low alkaline phosphate can be due to various other nutritional deficiencies, and those very same nutrients can easily cause the hair loss. So I feel it is important to check on the following:
-Vitamin B12 level
-Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
-Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA)

and initiate the consumption of:
-Healthy fats
-Meat (red meat and seafood)
-Carrots
-Request your doctor to put you on a multivitamin containing the following: vitamin C, folic acid, vitamin B6, zinc and phosphorus
-Also request your doctor for a diet rich in the above nutrients

As this treatment regimen can take sometime to show results, please be patient sir. I am sure we can find a solution to this and guide you to the path of good health.

I hope you find my response helpful and informative sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to assist you further sir.

Best wishes.
