Anaemic problem
My mother had dizziness, vomiting, increased heart beat, doctor diagnosed blood count is less.after regular intake of fruits her heamoglobin is 12.9.But her face is still white.is it because of anaemia.can anybody help me
It take a while for the paleness to improve as the hemoglobin levels are within normal limits(12.0-15.5) so anemia is ruled out. The other possible causes are:
- lack of sun exposure
- skin that is naturally pale
- cold exposure and frostbite
- shock (dangerously low blood pressure)
- blockage in the artery of a limb
So if there isn't a progressive improvement in the paleness, kindly visit a MD general medicine so that she can be examined and undergo necessary investigations to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.
