hi im 30 years old and have been feeling very tired over the past few months. I have pains in my joints, abdominal pains that I cant explain and I also bruise very easily when I scratch my body. I have also been feeling dizzy. I have had blood tests done over a month ago and been told my vitamin d and iron is level is very very low. It is under 10 but I dont know how low that is. I have been put on vitamin d and iron tablets a month ago. I never had the symptoms I have described a month ago. Can u give me any advice please.
Hi ! You can continue to have the It D and iron supplements as advised by your doctor. Based on your history of tiredness over the past few months, if I had been your doctor, I would have advised you for a thyroid function test. Hypothyroidism which is very common does cause anemia and tiredness. It D deficiency has also become common due to dietary deficiency and lack of sunlight in closed flat culture. If the thyroid deficiency is proved, then it is easily treatable with thyroid supplements, and you will feel well. So get a thyroid function done and show the reports to your family physician for further treatment. Thanks and good luck.
