[Geeljire lotus]

do you live in a country that has snow or is cold or do you live someplace hot

Nah it’s like that the whole day fr I was thinking I must be deficient in something

@dr.leorio any suggestions sxb ?

You might have prediabetes, go see a doctor. Start exercising and just being physically active that's should be enough.

My guess would be iron deficiency anemia but I can't confirm without a blood test.

Follow up Qs: How long have you been having this problem? And are there any other issues/symptoms you're currently having?

Had it since I was at least 16 and maybe low energy would be my other symptom

My hemoglobin was 5.2 percent they said the range was between 4 and 6 so does that rule out anemia ?

I'm guessing he was looking at your hemoglobin A1c percentage. I perfer to measure hemoglobin in grams per deciliter but it essentially measures the same thing. So those are normal levels.

But you also need to assess the total RBC count, the hematocrit levels (HcT), Mean Corpuscle Volume (MCV), and red cell distribution width (RDW) before ruling out Anemia. You need the entire picture before diagnosing. Just knowing your Hgb levels tells us nothing tbh

Do you have cold intolerance? You said you have low energy. What about your blood sugar? Is it low, high or just normal?

How about these symptoms, do they sound similar:
Low blood pressure
Salt cravings
Muscle and joint aches
Sweating

You might have prediabetes, go see a doctor.

The first thing that came to my mind, tbh. That or vitamin/mineral deficiencies like zinc, iron, b vitamins etc. Could be hormonal imbalances as well.

You’re probably anemic. Check your iron levels.

nah bro were our build is for hot weather, not cold. I noticed im like that too and get colder than my non african friends but i always seem to be okay in the summer heat but they r dying of it.

It’s Allah giving you signs that your ancestral land is calling for you to come home

 

[AbdiS]

This (ironically) only occurs during the summer for me. Though, it may be because I slept in the basement for the majority of the time.

Just stay at places where it's at room temperature.

Google Raynaud's disease and see if your symptoms fit that.
