What Causes Tiredness, Daily Headaches, Stomach Aches And Hot Flushes?

Hi, just have a question about my 11 yr. old daughter who was diagnosed with low iron a couple days ago. Doctor said it averaged out to be only 43%. He put her on liquid iron and after her first dose she felt much better and she actually had some color to her face. Second day of iron she got suddenly so tired in the evening and slept clear through til morning. Now today she is so tired and just had to go to bed. Her eyes are blood red and she started with hot flashes and headache and weakness today. I gave her clariton and it seemed to help headache but she is just out of it. I m very scared right now because I feel something else is making her this tired and out of it! She had been having the hot flashes and weakness and fatigue for about 3 weeks prior to finding out she was low in iron so that part isn t a new thing. Medical history is allergies and cat scan showed her kidneys were almost joined together. She gets more sick each year but this is the worst. Could you please help me. I m seriously thinking of making the doc do an MRI with her history of daily headaches and stomach aches. Thank you

Hi,

Done thalassemia test or is there any blood disease in your family? OK fine, hemoglobin is low but why it is low?

Whether there is blood loss or decrease production or some blood condition. So, go for proper checkup, improve nutrition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
