Hello ma'am, I am Rajneet kaur from delhi. I am 44 years old and have been facing a major issue with acidity since 2014, following my cesarean delivery. I have been taking Rantac or Zintac daily to address this issue. Recently, I started experiencing continuous dizziness, prompting me to undergo a regular blood test. In the report dated April 7, 2024, the following results were obtained: HbA1c = 6.20, hs-CRP = 3.31, SERUM Iron = 24.6, UBIC = 382, TIBC = 407.4, Transferrin Saturation = 6.04%, and Ferritin = 3.00. After a month of medication, I underwent another test on May 28, 2024, which revealed the following results: HbA1c = 5.9%, Ferritin = 2.8, and hs-CRP = 1.85. I have been told that my ferritin levels might be decreasing due to the acidity medication. I am seeking advice on the best solution for my acidity problem and which doctor I should consult for my specific issues.
