1. Consult a general physician or hematologist within the next 7–14 days (no emergency, but don’t ignore). • Show this CBC + smear report + mention any symptoms (fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath on exertion, pale skin, hair fall, heavy periods if applicable). 2. Essential tests to request (to confirm cause & severity): • Serum ferritin (most important — low in iron deficiency) • Serum iron + TIBC + transferrin saturation (full iron studies) • Vitamin B12 + folic acid (to rule out mixed deficiency) • Hemoglobin electrophoresis (if thalassemia trait suspected — common in India) • Stool occult blood (if any GI loss suspected)

• Do NOT start iron tablets on your own without ferritin confirmation — unnecessary iron can cause side effects if not deficient. • Diet right now (safe & helpful): • Iron-rich foods + vitamin C together: spinach + lemon, beetroot + amla, dates + orange, pomegranate • Non-veg (if you eat): chicken liver, egg yolk, fish • Avoid tea/coffee with meals — blocks iron absorption • Increase protein: dal, paneer, curd, eggs • If doctor confirms iron deficiency (likely): • Ferrous ascorbate + folic acid (e.g., Orofer XT, Feronia XT, Livogen-Z) — 1 tab daily after food • Take with vitamin C 500 mg or lemon juice → absorption increases 2–3 times • Continue 3–6 months (even after Hb normal) to rebuild stores • Follow-up: • Repeat CBC + ferritin after 6–8 weeks of treatment • Hb should rise ~1 g/dL every 3–4 weeks if iron deficient This is very common and fully treatable — most people feel much more energetic in 4–8 weeks after correcting iron (and any B12/D deficiency).
