Your symptoms can be explained by the anaemia. Teardrop cells may have sinister implications. You should consult a Haematologist in your area. You may need a bone marrow biopsy.
You should be managed either in a Medical College or a Multi-speciality hospital.

Breathlessness and dizziness are due to the chronic iron deficiency anemia. Tear drop cells only indicate either severe iron deficiency or something wrong in the bone marrow producing red blood corpuscles.
Take more of fresh green leafy vegetables, beetroot, pumpkin, fruits like apple, pomegranate, raisins, strawberries, kiwi, dates.
Syp R.b. tone 5m.l. morning and evening for 6 to 8 weeks.
Consult a hematologist for bone marrow biopsy if needed.

So overall picture:
➡️ Microcytic hypochromic anemia (likely iron deficiency)
➡️ Mild thrombocytopenia
Teardrop cells (+) → Seen in iron deficiency, marrow stress, or myelophthisic anemia.
Next Steps
1. Further evaluation
-Serum iron, ferritin, TIBC (iron profile).
-Peripheral smear & reticulocyte count.
-Rule out chronic blood loss (GI bleed, heavy menstruation, etc.).
2. Treatment
-Iron supplementation (oral ferrous sulfate/ferrous ascorbate) if iron deficiency is confirmed.
-Nutritional advice: Iron-rich foods (green leafy vegetables, jaggery, dates, pomegranate, red meat if non-vegetarian).
Treat any underlying cause of blood loss.
3. Platelets
-Monitor platelet count; mild thrombocytopenia usually does not cause bleeding.
-If symptomatic (bleeding, petechiae) → hematology consultation.
Apply for consultation when reports arrive
Health Tips
Repeat CBC after 3–4 weeks of therapy.
