Saanvi Patel, a 28-year-old junior architect,...
Saanvi Patel, a 28-year-old junior architect, had been pushing through months of relentless fatigue, assuming it was just the stress of a major project deadline. When she started noticing frequent dizzy spells and unusual paleness, her partner insisted she see a doctor. Her GP, noting her exhaustion and pallor, recommended a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to check for underlying issues like anemia. Saanvi felt a wave of anxiety at the pathology clinic, fearing the test might reveal something serious that could derail her career. The phlebotomist was gentle, explaining each step, which helped calm her nerves. The results revealed iron-deficiency anemia, likely due to heavy menstrual cycles and a vegetarian diet. With a clear diagnosis, she felt immense relief. She started iron supplements and dietary changes. Within weeks, her energy returned, and the dizziness faded. The emotional journey shifted from fear of the unknown to empowered control over her health, transforming her anxiety into proactive wellness.
