Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am hoping maybe I can get some suggested ideas for causes of chronic anemia. Since November of 2014 I have received 12 blood transfusions. My h&h levels have been dropping about every 1-2 weeks, to levels about 6.2 & 28% to 7.1&31%, it s generally in that range when I start noticing symptoms (tachycardia, dyspnea, paleness) so far no one has given me a clear answer as to why. Iron & B12 levels have been good. WBC counts have been elevated. They have put me on iron supplements as a precaution. Any suggestions as to a cause or recommendations for a procedure that may give a more definite answer? If any additional info is required I have copy of all the labs from my last hospital admission.
