Probably anaemia, some investigations needed to help through the diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms can be related to many medical conditions.
I would suggest the following examinations to help me through the diagnosis.
1) A complete blood count to exclude anaemia because of iron deficiency.
2) Liver function test and Vitamin B-12 blood level to exclude vitamin B deficiency
If the above-mentioned results come okay, then I would also suggest a visit to a psychiatrist to exclude depression as a possible cause of your symptoms.
Meanwhile, I would suggest you use a daily multivitamin supplement.
If the anaemia is confirmed, then taking a regular iron supplement would be advisable.
I suggest to take over the counter option in case of vomiting such as Reglan 10 mg three times a day.
I suggest you take a healthy diet and do schedule for a check-up with your physician regarding the above-mentioned concerns.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Yes, mold can also be a cause of your symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
Yes, mold can be the cause of your symptoms especially if the symptoms begin after the exposure.
An allergy test is needed to confirm this diagnosis.
I also recommend doing the examinations mentioned above to exclude other possible causes.
If the diagnosis of mold allergy is confirmed I suggest you to take antihistamines such as Levocetirizine 10 mg daily.
I suggest to avoid contact with the mold.
Use mask and gloves while cleaning and let doors and windows open for ventilation if needed.
Hope I helped you.
Take care,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
