My 14 yr old DD is feeling ill today- she looks pale and washed out, has no appetite, got up at 10 and was asleep on the sofa again by 12. Says she feels a bit sick and tummy hurts. Sounds like a standard tummy bug or virus so far. However she has recently had blood tests for heart palpitations/ irregular hear beat, chest pains and fatigue. The bloods that were not in normal range are serum alkaline phosphatase 117 ou/l (129-417) serum Creatinine 61 umol/l (39-60) and haematocrit 0.35l/l (0.37-0.5). Her red blood cell count is only just in the normal range likewise her Haemoglobin and her ferritin is 14.9 ug/l which is considered normal if it’s over 13.
She says she had chest pains last night and now has a headache and lower back pain.
Should she go back to the doctor? He hadn’t called her back so assumed blood test results were nothing to worry about. Should I be concerned?
