Since 5 days having cold and dry cough. Till yesterday sputum was normal and today blood is coming with sputum.
Hi , For the last 3 months I am having generalized muscle pain. The muscle pain is on and off. I also sometimes get deep muscle pain or cramps especially in my shoulders and hands. Whenever I am trying to stretch I feel like muscle has been pulled or when I am in a certain sitting position I feel some tension in my muscles. I did my blood tests like crp, cpk, esr, electrolytes, diabetes , thyroid, vitamin d and vitamin b12. And only b12 was low which was 120. For this I started taking supplements and it was then improved to 680. But the intermittent muscle pain is still not resolved.

Doctor, I recently completed a comprehensive master health check-up. Most parameters in my CBC, LFT, RFT, lipid profile, blood sugar and thyroid profile are normal. However, I noticed a few values outside the reference range and would like to know if they are clinically significant or require any follow-up. My main concern is Vitamin D, which is 18.1 ng/mL. Please advise whether I need Vitamin D supplementation, the appropriate dose and duration, and when it should be rechecked. Other abnormal/slightly abnormal values: CBC – Lymphocytes 44.8%, absolute lymphocytes 3.46, monocytes 1.2%, absolute monocytes 0.09, PDW 16.7, RBC 5.53. Lipid – LDL 100, TC/HDL ratio 2.8. Liver – Albumin 4.99, indirect bilirubin 1.09, total bilirubin 1.34, direct bilirubin 0.25. Renal – BUN 7.5, creatinine 0.6, calculated urea 16.05. Do I need to worry about other parameters ? No symptoms at present
My Hb has generally remained around 8–10 g/dL. I currently have severe tiredness/fatigue, dizziness, weakness and frequent body pains. I also have significant menstrual cramps. My periods usually last around 6 days, although the amount of bleeding varies. I had a sonography done because of the menstrual cramps, but it was normal. Recent CBC: Hb 10.4 g/dL, HCT 33.5%, RBC 4.32 ×10⁶/µL, MCV 77.5 fL, MCH 24.2 pg, MCHC 31.1 g/dL, RDW-CV 15.2%, RDW-SD 41.7 fL, WBC 9.3 ×10³/µL, platelets 305 ×10³/µL. Iron profile: Serum iron 28.3 µg/dL (ref 50–170), TIBC 410.5 µg/dL, transferrin saturation 6.89% (ref 15–45%), UIBC 382.2 µg/dL, and ferritin 4 µg/L. Vitamin B12: 311; Vitamin D3: 33.29. Given my recurrent low Hb and very low ferritin, I would like to know how significant my iron deficiency is, whether it could explain my symptoms, why my anemia keeps recurring, and what investigations I should undergo to identify the cause. Would oral iron or IV iron be appropriate in my case?
