Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my fianc's haemoglobin levels. Just last month, it was at 16.5, and now it has jumped to 17.5. He found out when he tried to donate blood, and they suggested he see a doctor about why his haemoglobin might be increasing. Can you help us understand why this might be happening and how we can get it back to normal levels?

Accepted Answer

...I can understand your concern. a haemoglobin level of to 16 to 17 is only slightly above normal. so no need to worry for now. so individuals can have slightly high haemoglobin even normally. very high haemoglobin is seen conditions like polycythemia Vera or bone marrow abnormalities. repeat his blood investigations after a month. if it's still increasing then consult a haemotologist or general physician for further evaluation.

Question 2

I've been using duolin respule directly for nebulisation without diluting it for about 15-20 days now. I'm starting to worry if that's okay or if there could be any side effects from not diluting it. Could this be harmful in any way? I'm really unsur...

Accepted Answer

Taking Duolin respule directly without diluting it for nebulization can lead to potential side effects such as increased heart rate, palpitations, tremors, headache, nervousness, dry mouth, and muscle cramps. It is important to follow the proper instructions for nebulization to ensure the medication is delivered effectively and safely. To dilute Duolin respule for nebulization, you can use normal saline solution.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's done over 4 blood tests, and each one shows her B12 level is really high. She's not really sick or anything, but lately she's been feeling dizzy, and I'm wondering if it could be related to her diet....

Accepted Answer

It should not be a cause for worry if Vitamin B12 levels are high. Her dizziness may be related to BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). You should take her to an ENT specialist to get a confirmed diagnosis.

Question 5

I'm a bit confused about my baby's blood group. My husband has a B blood group and mine is A, but somehow our baby's blood group is O. Could you help me understand why this might be? Is it something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

The inheritance of blood type is based on mendelian genetics. For ABO blood typing, if you are A and your husband is B, there is 25%chance of your baby being O. This might be because your genotype would be AO and your husband's might be BO. So based on probability, 25%probability each of baby being A, B, AB or O.
Similarly for Rh factor inheritance, assuming you both were Rr, you have 25% chance for RH negative baby.
To conclude.. its possible for a A+ and B+ couple to have O- baby. You are proud parents of a universal donor
