Hi,
After looking at your lab reports, I am wondering why you are not admitted to hospital..
Severe anemia has led to cardiac failure leading to limb edema.
You need a red cell packed cell transfusion to improve your hemoglobin at the earliest.
Later on injectable iron can be used and iron tablets can be taken at a later stage. Other vitamins also needs to be added to improve hemoglobin levels.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
