đź©ş ALLERGIC RHINITIS
More Than Just a Runny Nose
Frequent sneezing, nasal itching, watery nasal discharge and nasal congestion may be symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Common triggers may include:
• Dust and house-dust mites
• Pollen
• Animal dander
• Mould
• Environmental irritants
When should you consult a doctor?
If symptoms are recurrent, persistent, disturbing sleep, affecting concentration, or interfering with daily activities, a proper clinical evaluation can help identify the likely triggers and appropriate management.
Do not ignore persistent nasal symptoms or rely on self-medication for long periods.

đź©ş IRON DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA
More Than Just Tiredness
Persistent tiredness is often overlooked as a result of a busy lifestyle. However, iron deficiency anaemia can also cause fatigue and reduced physical capacity.
Common Symptoms
• Persistent fatigue or weakness
• Pale skin
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Shortness of breath, especially with exertion
• Headache
• Reduced concentration
• Brittle nails or increased hair shedding in some individuals
Who May Be at Higher Risk?
Women with heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnant women, people with inadequate dietary iron intake, and individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions may be at increased risk.
A complete blood count and appropriate iron studies, as advised by a healthcare professional, can help assess iron status.
Do not start iron supplements without understanding the cause of the deficiency.
