Low Hemoglobin, Dizziness, Losing Balance. Negative Chest X Ray, EKG. Cause?
My Haemoglobin is going down. Sometimes, I feel dizzy and I lose balance getting out of the bed or car. Today, I walked for 20 minutes. 5 minutes into the walk, my chest started to hurt, felt dizzy but continued to walk. My chest x-ray was taken about 6 months ago and EKG was done 2 months ago. Both came negative. What could it be?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Dizziness, chest hurt, loosing balance , hemoglobin low, chest X ray & E K G normal ( but 6 months the report were normal ) .
The main cause of all symptoms are anemia , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a physician.
Now question is , why hemoglobin level is so low, however there are so many reasons and it is very difficult to assess the exact reason without complete history of illness.
May be ,
Hemorrhage ( excessive ,if female patient) , hemorrhoids , renal failure , worm infestation . Get in blood ( peripheral blood film ) for blood disorder. Urine for U TI , stool examination for occult blood etc.
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck. Dr. HET
