It may be worth looking beyond the routine blood tests already done. Starting with a thorough physical examination and medical history, several specific tests could help investigate the root cause of your symptoms. Consider asking your healthcare provider about the following: 1) Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), which might reveal electrolyte imbalances, liver, or kidney issues contributing to fatigue and muscle twitches. 2) Thyroid Function Tests could uncover thyroid dysfunctions like hypothyroidism, which can cause fatigue, mood swings, and muscle issues. 3) Vitamin and Mineral Levels, particularly B12, Vitamin D, and magnesium, as deficiencies here could explain fatigue, muscle twitches, and irritability. 4) Ferritin and Transferrin levels for a deeper dive into iron storage, as standard blood tests may miss subtle iron metabolism issues. Additionally, more specialized tests like an autonomic function test could assess possible dysautonomia if symptoms align with orthostatic hypotension. You might also consider a Celiac Disease Panel, given your gastrointestinal symptoms, as gluten intolerance could account for your range of symptoms. If none of these tests yield insights, a referral to a specialist like a neurologist or endocrinologist could be helpful. Remember, the approach should be comprehensive and patient-centered, aiming to piece together the puzzle of your symptoms carefully. Always discuss these options and any concerns with your doctor to tailor the investigation to your specific situation.
18 साल की उम्र में एनीमिया जैसे लक्षण, थकान और मांसपेशियों में ऐंठन के लिए मुझे कौन-कौन से टेस्ट करवाने चाहिए?
मैं एक 18 साल की लड़की हूँ। जब मैं छोटी थी, लगभग 14 साल की उम्र तक, मैं बहुत एथलेटिक थी। लेकिन 15 साल की उम्र में, मुझे खेलकूद करने के बाद एनीमिया जैसे लक्षण महसूस होने लगे (जैसे दौड़ने के बाद)। मुझे बहुत ज्यादा सांस फूलने लगती, कमजोरी महसूस होती, चक्कर आते और मेरी नजर धुंधली हो जाती। मुझे कुछ गैस्ट्रोइंटेस्टाइनल समस्याएं भी होने लगीं और कुछ-कुछ ऑर्थोस्टेटिक हाइपोटेंशन जैसा भी महसूस हुआ। लेकिन जितने भी ब्लड टेस्ट मैंने कराए, सब नॉर्मल आए, बीपी, ब्लड काउंट, ब्लड शुगर वगैरह सब ठीक थे। मुझे शरीर के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में अचानक दर्द भी होने लगा, जिसकी अवधि अलग-अलग होती थी। ये सारे लक्षण आज तक बने हुए हैं और धीरे-धीरे बढ़ते जा रहे हैं। अब, मेरी मांसपेशियां भी अचानक फड़कने लगती हैं और मुझे अजीब सी थकान महसूस होती है। मेरी भूख भी कम होती जा रही है। मुझे अक्सर मूड स्विंग्स और चिड़चिड़ापन भी होता है। कृपया बताएं कि मुझे कौन-कौन से टेस्ट कराने चाहिए ताकि असली कारण पता चल सके?
