Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hypochromic microcytic rbcs. It is most commonly seen in iron deficiency anemia. However it can also be seen in anemia of chronic disease like tuberculosis, renal disease etc. You should go for s. Iron and ferritin level to check the iron deficiency. Then you should take iron supplements accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
