hi i am 21 years old indian female who has been having breathlessness since last two days every time i walk for 5 minutes or more. i also suffer from fatigueness along with breathlessness. what is the medication which i should follow ?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor .... Breathlessness on exertion and easy fatiguebility can be due to several reasons. Most common cause in a female being ANEMIA i.e. low hemoglobin. Most common cause for Low hemoglobin is iron deficiency. In females because of monthly periods, they loose blood and hence are more prone to anemia than men.However, heart or lung problems can also cause your symptoms. So my advice would be visited a physician(to check your heart and lung status), get few blood tests done - 1) CBC-complete blood counts 2) Iron profile 3) Peripheral smear, these 3 basic blood tests tell you, the reason for low hemoglobin, and you can be treated accordingly with ferrous sulfate tabs and It B12 and folic acid tablets. Hope I was helpful. Thank you ...take care.
