Common symptoms: It may be accompanied by headache, dizziness, skin redness, itching after bathing, and a feeling of heaviness or fatigue.
When to see a doctor? When these problems occur persistently, or when abnormalities are detected in routine blood tests, it is worth looking deeper into the condition.
