Hi dbuckley....going thrrough your symptoms i diagnosed that you are anemic....increase your iron intake,take fresh fruits especially apple,banana and oranges....as oranges are rich source of vitamin c so it will helps to cure bleeding gums...keep good oral hygiene and go for scaling too. For one month take follic acid 5mg per day.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Your clinical history and symptoms suggest that you are suffering from low hb count , which is causing all the above symptoms .

Sleep problems can be due to stressful situations causing anxiety and interfering with sleep . If it does not get reduced consult to a GP get a checkup done and do all the necessary blood investigations .

For bleeding gums ,
Get complete mouth scaling and polishing done .
Use 0.2% of chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily.
Take vitamin suplements .
Develop a habit of brushing teeth twice daily with a soft bristle toothbrush.
use dental floss and interdental cleaners .
Diet also plays a important role ensure that you eat plenty of raw vegetables , fruits like oranges , corrots , salads .
Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.

Hope this helps out.

hello there ,

Your clinical history shows you are in extreme illness with oral and general health problems as well as general weakness .

You may be suffering from viral flu that has lead to symptoms like cold , night sweating , head aches and loss of apetite.

you need to visit a physician and get the examination done before reaching to any diagnosis and treatment.

Gum bleeding and bruise is the result of gingival inflammation caused by poor oral hygiene , underlying health problems and anemia can also be a reason for poor gum health.

all this needs to be evaluated by clinical examination and pathological tests and accordingly treatment can be done.

i hope this helps ,

take care.
