after 4th week

[alijee]

. After 2nd week i got blood check and every thing was normal. Now i have finished my 4th week and want to check the blood complete, plt, alt etc but my Dr is insisting to get blood checkup after 6th week. i have noticed that my skin color is becomming pale yellow and i am facing short breath problem. My lungs demand for deep sigh. Whenever i walk a little I face breath problem. i have to breath rapid. I also feel stress on my left side of chest. My Dr nevery asked me to check RBC. He prefer to check hemoglibin. Plz tell me what is the difference between Hemo and RBC. Are these different or same things?. Should I check blood now after 4th week or should check after 6th week as Dr is insisting? I am not satisfied with my Dr. He is only MBBS + FCPS.    My weight is 50 kg and hight is 5.4 feet. I m taking 1200 mg riba per day. Is it ok according to my weight?

If you have Genotype 1, you should be taking 1000mg of Riba daily, based on your weight.
  
You're probably anemic, that's why you feel short of breath.  The Riba causes anemia.

RBC means red blood cells.  Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.  Checking the hemoglobin will tell you if you're anemic.

You SHOULD definitely get a PCR test for you viral load. Preferably the morning of your 5th shot, but BEFORE you do your shot.

I would also insist to do a CBC, especially since you are on a super high dose of Ribavirin. You are taking 24mg of Riba per kilo, which is very high and are most like anemic. You need to check your hemoglobin  and I would not wait with it.
