Nausea, Heartburn, Bloating And Belching, Bad Breath. TSH Levels Low, RDW High. What Am I Suffering From?
Question: I am a 25 year old female, 5 feet tall and 113 lbs. I eat a balanced diet and exercise for an hour at least 3 times a week. Here are my symptoms. I've had problems with nausea, heartburn, bloating and belching for the last 5 months or so. I also have very bad breath, no matter how much I brush and floss. I've also been struggling with chronic headaches and anxiety. I am easily fatigued, but deal with bouts of insomnia. I have high blood pressure and irregular periods. I am also anemic with a low hemoglobin and hematocrit, but high RDW. My TSH levels are on the very low side of normal. All of these symptoms started around the same time. What could this be?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Hypothyroidism and anemia are associated with body aches, depressive feelings, insomnia, fatigue and irregular periods.
The symptoms of nausea, heart burn bloating and belching are indicative of gastritis and indigestion. This can be taken care of by some dietary modifications and over the counter preparations like omeprazole, domperidone, digestive enzymes, antacids, etc.
You need to consult your physician for thyroid replacement therapy, anemia correction and appropriate blood pressure monitoring.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
