Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Iron Supplement The Right Medicine For Nausea, Low Appetite And Brittle Nails?
I have had nausea and loose bowels for three days . Loss of appetite . I have noticed my nail beds look like they are curved down on the ends and are very white and the white extends back down into the bed of the nails in odd rounded out formations on most nails and the beds are more red than normal . I am anemic and aware of it . My doctor has put me on an iron supplement . No fever just very fatigued .
It will be very nice if you could share the pic of your nails so that we get to understand what exactly you are referring to. If you are anemic and have Iron deficiency anemia then you may tend to have unusually flat nails/nails curved inwards. But that is a result of the iron deficiency. That said, I am not quite sure if that is what you are referring to.
