Urgent help needed for a friend.. Her query - I am thalassemia positive.. have thyroid (under 25mcg)medications. It's been week I feel breathless..it started at night so I thought it's due to HhOmega medicine which is supplemente for iron as I Cnt take iron pills coz of rich iron level in blood.. but now this heavy breathing has become regular at day time too.
Nowadays m having cold n mild cough so is this breathless feeling is due to any of above reasons or is it normal.. I have got my rft1/tsh test done all fine. Shared with gyen so she has advised for blood transfusion due to 9.5cbc... n low cbc can be reason for this condition..
She also said if this continues after transfusion Too thn I need to get some ctscan to see if lungs are performing well..thr is no blood blockages which I can happen in thalassemia condition..
I feel more fatigue and tired.. seems no energy left.. n this feeling of short of air around me makes me feel more uncomfortable... bp too is keeping low (Generally too bo remains low..never gone high) @asha chaudhry plz tag some doctors

in tht case she needs a proper examination to see if there's anything major going on or this is pregnancy related or can be dealt with later.<br>
a CT scan is not done in pregnant state unless absolutely there is no other option. <br>
shes been feeling unwell fr a week now, i would get a second opinion.

hey. it doesnt say here if shes pregnant /weeks.<br>
anyways, she needs to get a checkup.<br>
im not ok with a blood transfusion fr 9.5 hb ( uve written cbc but u mean Hb right?)<br>
breathlessness has a lot of causes, some r minor but some need urgent attention.<br>
CT scan can diagnose a condition where there r blocks in the blood vessels of the lungs. <br>
but we don't know abt any more details of her case to suspect such a big condition.<br>
(if her doc suspects this- she needs a scan right away).<br>
<br>
pls ask her to visit another hospital without delay, where she can get the necessary opinions and tests done. a chest physician or general physician can help.<br>
do update here how shes doing
