Looking at the clinical features of anaemia caused by low levels of oxygen in the blood. Uses the oxygen flux equation to explain the physiology of compensatory mechanisms.
I always thought I was just "lazy" or "getting old" when I got out of breath doing the simplest things. Your videos made me realise all I needed was an iron supplement. It has made all the difference in the world: I feel 20 years younger! Forever in your debt for improving my quality of life so much with these videos.
and yes, I had a big problem with anaemia too, I'm currently supplementing Iron and B12. I hope You are very well and don't neglect your nutritional needs, and ideally get your blood-test done periodically.
As someone who suffers from severe anaemia, I find these videos of great help in understanding my condition. Because of this I can describe to my consultant how I feel and symptoms I feel. Thank you Dr.John Campbell. You explain things very well and easy to understand.
@@drealove9351 hey Drea. Yes unfortunately. Though since I have been on EPO injections, things have improved vastly. I stated the EPO injections in November 2020 Since then no hospital admissions. No more blood transfusion or Ferritin Infusions. I have colour in stead of looking like a ghost. I hope you are well Drea
I thought my IBS was getting really bad, and also I blamed my tiredness on knee osteoarthritis. Now I know it was low iron due to extreme monthly blood loss. Since starting the gentle iron I have felt so much better. Amazing! And my knee arthritis is still there but not bothersome as I was lead to think.
I started to watch your videos during the pandemic and now I am watching your medical videos also. My husband and I for the first time both became anemic. We both were having breathing difficulties. Thankfully, we had blood work done and we are low in iron. Now we are on the road to finding out why we are experiencing anemia for the first time and at the same time.
I would suspect either a poor diet or you are exposed to/eating something that is causing you not to absorb iron. Gluten intolerance or poor micro biome. Eat a diet high in green leafy veg and other veg, beetroot is good for the blood too. Lots of veg every meal. Nuts seeds fruit mushrooms beans and if you area meat eater some liver. Get well soon.
Such is the beauty of the Knowledge, you can share it with others and you still gain more and more.. It's been over 3 years now, I really appreciate your skills, your dedication to every single topic, your way of expressing and explaining things, I just love you sir.. Hope I can meet you someday.. Love from Kashmir
I was severly anaemic,all due to my periods, but i put off going to the doctors because i was always working and kept saying i'll make appointment,..had my symptoms a while before getting them checked out.,,i couldn't walk far without getting really out of breathe ...i got breathless getting dressed and undressed,or trying clothes on.... then when i was walking up a steep hill, i got to the top and my heart was pounding in my chest, i was really really breathless and it's then that i decided to make a doctors appointment and thought sod work,my health comes first..,told him my symptoms, and had a blood test, he told me that i'd lost alot of blood through my periods...i was put on iron tablets and B12, THEN i got the coil fitted to stop my periods.and haven't lost any blood since.. But there's other symptoms too,like i couldn't swallow my food properly,had a sore tongue,had no colour in my face, had a feeling that insects were crawling on my skin. my hands and feet were always cold,i always felt cold even in summer... i had many symptoms,Dizziness,confusion,cracked sores on the corners of my mouth..it's nice to have anaemia explained properly in this vid.. thank you.
How are you going now? My daughter is having the same symptoms. On iron tablets now but remains symptomatic. Iron level was 14.. now 37... supposed to be over 40...
Been watching you sir since past 9 months and your vedios were indeed very helpfull in clearing my final year in medical and soon will be a doctor after my internship and I cant say enough of how thankfull I am for your videos sir!!!!. Am also thinking taking british plab exams to get into nhs so can you do a series on that pls? Cause it would be helpfull in a big way!!!
Can I just ask please in regards to oxygen flux equation. With the oxygen saturation you mentioned is that the RR? In the video you talked about hemoglobin concentration. May i ask how do you work out that part please? I am currently student Paramedic and I wanting to take this with me into practice on the road, but just wondering how do I get the last bit of the equation. Thank you.
I have every single solitary symptom he discussed. We were also told my daughter has some sort of gene mutation where she has to take B12 and folic acid since her body doesn’t absorb it and that she got it from either me or her dad. EVERY single thing adds up now! I’m 38 and my legs have been swelling horribly(mostly ankles and feet)for years. I have terrible heart palpitations that make me cough and dizzy sometimes. I do have low iron. I’ve had a heart Catherine though and they said no blockages. Anyway, I’m shocked. I need a good doctor! I feel like I’m going to die and leave my kids. I feel horrible almost everyday. Some days I can function decently. Others just enough to get by. Others, not at all. Not even a shower. I need a good doctor who knows this stuff!
$$$$ was payed by my insurance to hospitals who failed to diagnose my illness I have severe anemia hemoglobin barely 7 and iron levels 4 I have no breath I cannot walk I feel I will die this explains alot I've already been doing reseach and know my suffocating feeling is from lack of blood oxygen I have suffered large blood loss daily for 2 years getting worse Now thanks you said it heart failure I now have heart problems my cardiologist prognosis for me was DEATH!! He did not do any test only ecg and my diagnosis was death only
I have symptoms of hypoxia but the oncologist my doctor sent me to to het an iron infusion said I wasn't anemic but after that appointment I have had more of those symptoms all at once. He said I didn't need one when I tried to insist that I needed it
Oxygen saturation percentage is 41% upon exertion!!! How I'm still alive bc I don't move the only thing that still hanging on is my brain although I know has been affected by lack of oxygen gone untreated so long. I been bed ridden for 3 years and I can't believe the health system to be this cruel maybe its racism. And its not like I don't have health care I have PPO plan through Aetna why am I left to die? My oxygen levels only drop when I move
I am SO sorry. It’s terrible to be sick and feel horrid all the time. Healthy people don’t comprehend it. Thankfully I don’t have the health issue you have! I do have health problems and feel really terrible more often than not. I pray you are given the help you need and deserve! I’m sure it isn’t “racism” as you said. I am a 38 yr old white woman and my white dr almost let me die a couple years ago. Edit: Not saying racism doesn’t exist because of course it does. Just saying, many of us do not receive good health care no matter our color.
Not as such, the blood component that is important for blood clotting is the platelets or thrombocytes. Ask for a test of thrombocyte levels. If platelets are low this is thrombocytopenia and is a cause of easy brusing.
Hello doctor l decided to study medicine in USA so l have some questions firstly how many years study medicine in America ? and how much the year cost ?
Study 4 years of medicine, on top of a pre-requisition of a bachelors degree. The first two years is of book studies, the last two is clinical rotations, then you have 3-7 years of residency and that depends on your speciality.
It's all about the money... no money in giving a cure,money Is only made when sick 💔 They'll only give u chemicals anyway,so be happy. Go look up Dr.Sebi & live your best life bc he Gives All the answers u need for PERFECT HEALTH & I mean that

My previous medical physicians, and most of the local GPs and EDs, need to watch your videos
no words can express how much I appreciate your videos. Nothing short of amazing. Thank you!

Ps. Coffee and other caffeine beverages will lower iron levels.

could you make some videos on ABX, ABX ladder specifically?

Are you there my friend? How are you?
I have a question. Does the SOBE improve if you introduce a beta blocker into this scenario?
Infinitely superior to PowerPoint presentations
Sir, is it shortness of breath on exertion or shortness of breath on minimal exertion
This is excellent. But won't there be complications resulting from the increased respirations?
Is there a way of connecting with this amazing Dr please? ❤
Thanks sir
You are indeed a faithful viewer.
$$$$ was payed by my insurance to hospitals who failed to diagnose my illness
I have severe anemia hemoglobin barely 7 and iron levels 4
I have no breath I cannot walk I feel I will die this explains alot
I've already been doing reseach and know my suffocating feeling is from lack of blood oxygen
I have suffered large blood loss daily for 2 years getting worse
Now thanks you said it heart failure I now have heart problems my cardiologist prognosis for me was DEATH!!
He did not do any test only ecg and my diagnosis was death only
can low iron and ferritin cause skipped or ectopic heart beats?
I have symptoms of hypoxia but the oncologist my doctor sent me to to het an iron infusion said I wasn't anemic but after that appointment I have had more of those symptoms all at once. He said I didn't need one when I tried to insist that I needed it
See and try a different doctor
Can low iron lead to COPD
Interesting, informative & useful, but I hate the scratchy, fountain pen 😖
4:49 I can hear my heart beat in my ears right now (anaemia due to hemorrhagia)
Fibroids?
@@mightyobserver12 Primarily adenomyosis, although I apparently do have a couple of small fibroids on the outside.

Hi sir!
What about systemic effects of hypoxemia ?
Hello doctor l decided to study medicine in USA so l have some questions firstly how many years study medicine in America ? and how much the year cost ?

It can cost….a very lot
