Tell her to go see a doctor and get a check up. It could be her blood pressure. Do you know if she is anemic?

I know the average for adults is 6500KJoules but you would need to convert that to calories sorry! Its called something like the "energy of basal metabolism" if its just the basic needed to keep a person alive so if you search for that you can find what it would be for women.

Normal blood pressure is 120/70.  If it's at 158/84, it's considered on the high side.  Yours is way out of the normal range.  Please see a doctor ASAP.

Yes young and old, it's not common because with vitamin supplements it's treamtable. Iron-deficiency anemia affects your health as well. It can sap your energy and make it harder for your body to fight infection. And if you're anemic later in pregnancy, you're more likely to have problems if you lose a lot of blood when you give birth. You may feel dizzy, have a rapid heart rate, or have other symptoms that require you to stay in the hospital an extra day or two. You're also more likely to need a blood transfusion. \n\nCalcium interferes with your body's ability to absorb iron. So if you're taking calcium supplements, or an antacid that contains calcium, don't take either one while you're eating iron-rich foods or at the same time as your iron supplement. For the same reason, don't take your supplement with milk, which is rich in calcium. Drink milk between meals, instead. The same goes for tea and coffee, which contain polyphenols that interfere with the absorption of iron from supplements and plant sources. \n\nEating or drinking something rich in vitamin C at the same time you take your iron supplement or eat iron-rich plant foods can help your body absorb significantly more of the type of iron found in non-animal sources. Good vitamin C choices include a glass of orange or tomato juice, a handful of strawberries, sweet (bell) peppers, or half a grapefruit. Meat and fish (sources of heme iron, which your body absorbs much more easily) can also improve your absorption of the iron in non-meat foods. For example, putting a bit of beef in a pot of vegetable chili can help you absorb iron from the vegetables.\n\nIf your test indicates that you're anemic, your practitioner will prescribe an iron supplement of 60 to 120 mg a day or more. To make sure you absorb as much of the iron as possible, take your iron pills on an empty stomach. Wash them down with water or orange juice (the vitamin C helps with absorption) but not with milk (calcium hinders absorption).\n\nNote that these doses refer to the amount of "elemental iron," or pure iron, in a supplement. Some labels list the amount of ferrous sulfate (a kind of iron salt) instead of or in addition to the amount of elemental iron. A supplement that contains 325 mg of ferrous sulfate will give you about 60 mg of elemental iron. Others use ferrous gluconate, 300 mg of which yields about 34 mg of elemental iron.\n\nOne more important thing to note: Be vigilant about keeping any pills containing iron in childproof containers and away from children. More kids die from iron overdose each year than from any other kind of accidental drug poisoning. In fact, a single adult dose can poison a small child.

just look at the values that aren't normal\nanother thing to look at in ALL is the size of the WBC, they'll be VERY large\n\nhematocrit is very low at 36%, normal should be between 42-48% depending on if you're a male or female\n\nhemoglobin is very low at 8g/dL, normal is about 12-15 depending on if you're male of female\n\nWBC count is very high, normal amount is about 12,000\nneutrophil count should be 65% of WBC count or about 7500\nbasophil count should be <1% of WBC count or about 200\neosinophil count should be 4% of WBC count or about 400\nmonocyte count should be 6% of WBC count or about 700, so THAT is VERY HIGH at 1,800\nlymphocyte count should be 25% of WBC count or about 3000 so that is VERY HIGH at 4,700\n\nplatelet count should be about 150,000-300,000 so it's VERY LOW

Multivitamins are good, but the +iron I would confide in my doctor.  Many people get enough iron in there daily diet without supplementing iron...iron is usually taken when your anemic.

I'm iron deficient as well but are you on any kind of birth control that could be affecting that? Otherwise see a doctor ASAP.\n\nI'm sorry you're feeling frustrated and I'm am also VERY anti medical unless I need clean teeth or my contacts (hee-hee) but I agree with the response about taking an iron supplement. The thing is, I've had 4 kids, passed out because I'm anemic when I was on my period, lost plenty of blood, etc., etc. but never continued to have my period for an 8 week stretch. That's where my concern comes in. You can die from it but it's not from loss of blood. It's the continuous drain on your body. Write back and take care.

You are low in IRON!  Eat more oatmeal, brown rice, or other foods high in iron.\n\nLM

I read your question, and I think it's possible.  B12 is needed for you to be able to absorb iron from your intestine.  As we get older, it's harder to absorb iron.  If your iron level is low, you will have too few red blood cells.  Now a test can show that you have enough red blood cells, but if your B12/iron is low, there may be few but larger red blood cells - they do not work as well as the normal sized RBCs because there is not as much surface area for them to release their oxygen and nutrients.\n\nLow RBCs would cause circulation problems, which tend to happen in our legs, and would cause tingling pain.\n\nWhile you are increasing your B12, try an old fashioned remedy - sit with your feet elevated, so the old blood can flow back into your body and allow room for new.  If you have been active, especially walking, that should tone the muscles in your legs to keep your circulation good.  \n\nFrom a lady of 54 who's had many of the ailments out there and resolved most of them.
