Dear Patient
In many women the real cause of weakness is
• Iron deficiency due to heavy periods
• Vitamin B12 or Vitamin D deficiency
• Irritable bowel type digestion problem
• Poor nutrition or stress
That is why medicines help only for some time and symptoms come back.
Get these tests done
CBC hemoglobin
Serum ferritin iron
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D
Thyroid profile
For weakness
• Eat iron rich foods like spinach beetroot jaggery dates black chana
• Take enough protein daily milk paneer eggs dal soyabean or protein powder
• Multivitamin once daily after food can help
• Drink 2.5 to 3 liters water daily
For constipation and bleeding
• Continue isabgol
• Eat fruits like papaya oats and salad
• Hard stool can cause small cuts near anus which leads to bleeding drops
For acidity
• Avoid empty stomach tea coffee
• Reduce spicy oily food
• Rabeprazole in morning before food for 2 to 3 weeks can help
Heavy periods can cause low iron so weakness will continue until iron is corrected. With proper diet and supplements you can feel normal without repeated antibiotics.
For detailed diet plan supplement doses and treatment guidance you can text me on Practo anytime.

Based on your description, weakness and fatiguebility may be due to anemia (caused by blood loss due to Heavy menstrual bleeding and bleeding per rectum)
Antibiotics have no role in treatment of anemia and also weakness of any other cause. Gastric symptoms can also lead to loss of appetite and weakness. Thus complete physical examination and investigation are necessary for diagnosis and plan for further management.
Next Steps
1. Consult in person OPD, to a general physician for symptoms of weakness, gastric acidity, heavy menstrual bleeding and bleeding per rectum (on straining). For general physical examination.
2. Do blood tests CBC with indices, Iron studies, B12 and folate levels, Thyroid function test.
3.Consult gynecologist for heavy menstrual bleeding
4. Plan further management based on report
Health Tips
Multivitamins are useful only if in deficiency.
1. Adopt Healthy Diet with rich in fibres and fluids
2. Adopt Healthy eating pattern, do not skip meals (prevents gastric acidity)
3. Avoid straining on stools, can use laxatives or inculcate healthy bowel practices
4. Adopt balanced diet with Green leafy vegetables, fruits, milk products, egg and meat (if non vegetarian). this acts as natural supplements for all vitamins and proteins. Always natural sources are better.

You need some test before reach any conclusion...to check the reason for your weakness...like cbc, TFT, B12, VIT D3
Direct multivitamin didn't help in it without knowing the reason for you weakness...
And for your other problem you need a few days treatment

From what you’ve described, your weakness and sleepiness are very likely due to anemia (low hemoglobin) rather than only gastric acidity. Heavy menstrual bleeding over many months can slowly drain all the iron from the body and cause tiredness, headaches (especially before periods), dizziness, and low energy.
Your bowel symptoms (hard stools with drops of blood at times) suggest constipation with fissure/hemorrhoids, which can also worsen weakness if there is ongoing blood loss. Repeated antibiotics are not helpful for this problem and can actually worsen acidity, gut health, and fatigue. It’s understandable that you’re frustrated ,,long-term antibiotics are not the solution here.
Next Steps
1)Get basic blood tests done (very important):
CBC (Hemoglobin)
Iron studies (serum ferritin)
Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D
2)Consult a doctor/gynecologist regarding your heavy periods ,, treating the bleeding is key to fixing weakness permanently.
3)If hemoglobin or iron is low, start iron supplementation (tablet or syrup) as advised ,,this works much better than only multivitamins.
4)For acidity and bowel issues:
Continue acid-reducing medicine only if needed
Avoid unnecessary antibiotics unless there is clear infection
Use fiber (like isabgol) regularly to prevent hard stools
5)You can take a simple multivitamin, but remember: vitamins help only if deficiency exists ,they are not a cure for blood loss
Health Tips
Protein powders are okay, but they won’t correct anemia. Focus first on iron-rich foods like dates, jaggery, green leafy vegetables, beetroot, eggs, pulses, and legumes.
Take iron tablets away from tea/coffee ,,as this make tablets ineffective
Drink enough water daily to reduce constipation and rectal bleeding.
Don’t ignore weakness that keeps coming back,,it’s your body asking for evaluation, not more medicines.
If you notice increasing bleeding, black stools, severe fatigue, or breathlessness, seek medical care promptly.

Based on your symptoms and history, this is NOT an infection problem, which is why antibiotics help only temporarily.
Your pattern strongly suggests:
• Iron deficiency anemia → due to heavy periods
• Vitamin deficiencies (B12, Vitamin D) → cause weakness, sleepiness, headache, low energy
• Hormonal imbalance / PMS → symptoms worsen before periods
• Gut dysfunction (acidity, constipation alternating with loose stools) → poor nutrient absorption
• Repeated antibiotics → disturb gut flora, increase acidity, worsen fatigue
Next Steps
Investigations (very important)
Please get these tests once:
• CBC + Ferritin (iron stores)
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D
• TSH (thyroid)
• ESR / CRP (only if doctor suspects inflammation)
Treatment focus (not antibiotics)
You can safely shift to:
• Iron + folic acid (if ferritin is low)
• Vitamin B12 (oral tablets are fine)
• Vitamin D supplementation
• Multivitamin (daily)
• Protein support:
• 1 scoop whey protein OR
• Natural protein: dal, eggs, curd, paneer
Gut & stool care
• Continue Isabgol at night
• High-fiber diet + water
• Avoid frequent painkillers & unnecessary antibiotics
Health Tips
Daily diet basics
• Iron-rich foods: green leafy vegetables, dates, jaggery
• Protein daily (very important for energy)
• Probiotics: curd / buttermilk
• Reduce tea/coffee around meals
Period-related weakness
• Start supplements before periods
• Adequate sleep + hydration
• Light walking or stretching

Your weakness is most likely due to anemia and hormonal changes, suggested by heavy periods, acidity, irregular bowel habits, and symptoms worsening before periods. Repeated antibiotics are not required unless there is clear infection.
