What are the common symptoms of iron deficiency anemia?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 45 year old housewife and have been diagnosed with Grade 2 spondylolisthesis. I have been undergoing physiotherapy for some time and also using hot water fomentation for relief. However, I frequently experience severe cramps in my calf muscles, which usually subside after a while. I am wondering if these cramps could be related to the spondylolisthesis. Additionally, my recent blood reports show a high platelet count and low hemoglobin levels, for which I am currently taking medication.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood report is abnormal. It shows low Basophils Absolute Count 0.01, high Total RBC 6.02, low MCV 62, low MCH 17.4, low MCHC 28.2, and high RDW CV 20.2. I need to understand if I should be worried?
