General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the episodes of light headache, joint pain and fatigue with off balance may be in relation with:
- Iron deficiency
- Vitamin B 12 lacking
- Generalised mal-nourishment
- Chronic arthritis with low blood pressure

In my clinic, after thorough clinical examination with history, I recommend evaluation with:
- Complete hemogram
- ESR and CRP as inflammatory markers
- Iron studies
- Vitamin B 12 and folate levels
- X-ray of relevant joints

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.



Regards,

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
