Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
You see the symptoms you have mentioned are common to various problems like hypothyroidism,anaemia,deficiency of VIT D, deficiency of VIT B12 and kidney involvement also.
Your stomach symptoms could be due to gastritis due to long term consumption of pain killers and constipation.
The best way to find the exact cause is to get yourself investigated thoroughly on lines as mentioned above.
Till you consult your doctor,I would advise you following things....
Take a proton pump inhibitor like PANTOPROZOLE 40 mg once a day in morning on empty stomach
Drink plenty of water.
Do regular aerobic exercises for at least 40-45 minutes a day.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
