Question : I have sever pain in all the joints in my body to the point of immobility. I have been breaking out in sever hives, I am extremely fatigued and recently fell--the urgent care facility contacted me stated that I had an extremely low hematocrit 9.9
Brief Answer:
Symptoms are probably related to anemia, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
A low hematocrit indicates the presence of anemia.
In my opinion all your symptoms seem to be related to anemia.
Some of the common causes of anemia can be :
Excessive loss of blood
Nutritional deficiencies such as iron, folate or B12 deficiency
I would recommend to do ferritinemia and sideremia blood level to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, I would recommend to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times.
I would also recommend to take antihistamines daily such as Levocetrizine.
If the diagnosis is confirmed I recommend taking iron, vitamin B12 and folate supplements for at least three months.
I also recommend doing every three months a complete blood count to check the hematocrit level.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
