She consulted a local doctor in Nalgonda from where she got to know that she has low Hb levels for which she underwent blood transfusion and again back in July her Hb levels were found low[5.0g/dl] and again she underwent blood transfusion[2units] after which her Hb levels increased from 5.0 -8.0g/dl.She again developed SOB and generalised weakness since 2days for which she again consulted a local doctor in Nalgonda and got her tests done.
