hi i am 21 years old indian female who has been having breathlessness since last two days every time i walk for 5 minutes or more. i also suffer from fatigueness along with breathlessness. what is the medication which i should follow ?
Hi welcome to Healthcare Magic....
Breathlessness on exertion and easy fatiguebility can be due to several reasons .
Most common cause in a female being ANAEMIA i.e low heamoglobin.
Most common cause for Low heamoglobin is iron deficiency.
In females because of monthly periods , they loose blood and hence are more prone to anaemia than men.
However heart or lung problems can also cause your symptoms.
So my advice would be visit a physician( to check your heart and lung status) , get few blood tests done - 1) CBC-complete blood counts 2) Iron profile 3) Peripheral smear , these 3 basic blood tests tell you , the reason for low heamoglobin and you can be treated accordingly with ferrous sulphate tabs and Vit B12 and folic acid tablets.
Hope i was helpful.
thank you ...take care.
I have just started 20mg fluoxetine from 10mg and I keep feeling breathless and tired will these symptoms go when my body gets used to this higher dose (have been taking for 11 days).
Thankyou
