Understanding Iron Deficiency
Iron is crucial for oxygen transport and energy production. Low levels can result from poor diet, blood loss, or absorption issues. -
Dietary Changes to Boost Iron Quickly
a. Iron-rich foods: Include red meat, poultry, fish (heme sources), beans, lentils, spinach (non-heme sources).
b. Enhance absorption: Pair with vitamin C-rich foods (e.g., citrus fruits). Avoid tea/coffee with meals. -
Iron Supplementation
a. Common supplements: Ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate.
b. Dosage and timing: Follow healthcare provider's advice; take on an empty stomach if tolerated.
c. Side effects: May include constipation or nausea; increase fiber intake to manage. -

Consult a healthcare provider before starting supplements. Persistent symptoms or underlying conditions may need further evaluation. -

View allI've noticed that my body temperature rises in the evening for an hour or so, then goes back to normal. It's not really a fever, just higher than it should be. I recently found out I have Microcytic anemia. Could there be a connection between the two? I could really use some guidance.
Elevated body temperature in the evening could be related to your Microcytic anemia. It is known that anemia can sometimes lead to a low-grade fever or increased body temperature. I recommend taking a fever reducer like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed to help with the elevated temperature. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

Im really confused about my dads D-dimer levels after his COVID recovery. His first test showed 1800, but we didnt find out until five days later. He wasnt showing any clotting symptoms, so we checked with a doctor who recommended blood thinners. We decided to get another test done at a more reliable lab two days later and it came back at 160. He had been taking dabigatran 150 BD during those two days. We re-tested after 15 days, and the D-dimer was 180. Im trying to figure out if the blood thinner could have caused such a big drop from 1800 to 160, or if its safe to just disregard the first test as incorrect and stop the meds. Could you help me understand whats going on?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
