Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

Low ferritin levels can indicate iron deficiency, which is a common cause of symptoms like dizziness, palpitations, and tachycardia. Iron is crucial for producing hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells that helps carry oxygen throughout your body. When iron levels are low, it can lead to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues, explaining those symptoms. Since your physician has confirmed that your heart is fine, the focus should be on addressing the iron deficiency. Avoiding foods or behaviors that inhibit iron absorption can be helpful. For instance, try not to consume tea or coffee with meals, as they contain compounds that can interfere with iron absorption. Consuming high-calcium foods alongside iron may also reduce absorption, so it’s better to eat them separately. On the other hand, enhance your body’s ability to absorb iron by including vitamin C-rich foods in the same meal, like citrus fruits, strawberries, or bell peppers. Iron supplements might be necessary, but only take these under medical supervision due to potential side effects and the risk of iron overload. Make sure to monitor your iron levels with regular blood tests as directed by your healthcare provider. It’s great that your physician has ruled out cardiac issues, but you should remain vigilant. If symptoms worsen suddenly or become unbearable, always seek medical care promptly. In terms of daily habits, focus on a balanced diet, addressing any stress or anxiety that might be amplifying these sensations. Practicing mindful techniques, too, can help reduce any anxious thoughts regarding your symptoms.
