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.

hey. it doesnt say here if shes pregnant /weeks.
anyways, she needs to get a checkup.
im not ok with a blood transfusion fr 9.5 hb ( uve written cbc but u mean Hb right?)
breathlessness has a lot of causes, some r minor but some need urgent attention.
CT scan can diagnose a condition where there r blocks in the blood vessels of the lungs.
but we don't know abt any more details of her case to suspect such a big condition.
(if her doc suspects this- she needs a scan right away).
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.
do update here how shes doing
Dr. Payal M
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.
a CT scan is not done in pregnant state unless absolutely there is no other option.
shes been feeling unwell fr a week now, i would get a second opinion.
