Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I am a 67y.o. female. I have profound, debilitating weakness, metallic taste in my mouth, dry lips, tingling in hands and feet, periods of uncontrollable crying (I am NOT a crying person!). Plus I have a gushing, fluttering feeling in my chest w/left neck and chest discomfort. My Bp fluctuates from 92/54 to 162/86 and HR fluctuates between 48-130. This has been going on for about 6wks. On days I feel mostly normal my Bp is 112/60 HR 60-68. I was recently in the States and diagnosed w/hypothyroid and iron deficiency anemia.I was given B12 shots and iron supplements. I improved slightly and able to travel out of the country to where my husband and I work and serve. I don t know what to do. Could you give me some advice and direction.
[|AI|]  Hi, I can understand that you are in great pain. As far as your concerns are the metallic taste and Chat Doctor.  But be rest assured after some days the metallic taste will go away if It's due to iron. However, i advice you to not stop taking iron tablets, U can probably divide them into smaller potions per day to reduce the metallic taste. About the tingling and numbness you have been experiencing and if its very severe as you may feel, I would advise you to show a neurologist. Tingling and numbness can be an early sign of peripheral nerve problems, and they need specialized attention. Many of them can be cured. One reason might be due to B12 deficiency and after some time when your B12 levels become normal you might be able to recover, however this complaint requires a full diagnostic workup.be rest assured eventually you will be happily hale and hearty do let me know if you have any more questions for me
