Hello doctor, I was suffering from menorrhagia after the birth of my second daughter. I went for medication and presently it is almost under control. I have to take Tranexa two tablets three times daily for the first two days of the menstrual cycle. Suddenly I notice that my hemoglobin has fallen to 7.12 g/dL. I am physically feeling weak and having chest pain (while walking and climbing stairs), swelling of legs, itching and indigestion problem. I consulted a local doctor and they prescribed Autrin twice daily and ZES-30 once daily.
Hello. Since you are 40 years old now and this problem has not suddenly cropped up. You are having menorrhagia (heavy bleeding) from the last 5 years or so, for which you are having 1 gm of Trenaxa to temporarily stop bleeding. That is the reason for anemia, which is low hemoglobin and feeling very weak. But please do not ignore your chest pain and swelling on legs. You need to be thoroughly investigated for this including all routine investigations like CBC (complete blood count), coagulation profile, PTI (prothrombin time test), renal and liver function tests. Above all ECG (electrocardiogram), and ultrasound abdomen to see the cause. Visit a physician and the most worrying thing which I want to rule out is any evidence of thrombo-embolism and DVT (deep vein thrombosis) for which you may be advised Doppler study of vessels of lower limbs. Be in touch and inform the reports if you like.
