Unsure About Pregnancy

Reasons for Negative Test Results

  1. Too early: If you took the test too soon after ovulation, the hCG levels might not be detectable yet.
  2. Irregular periods: With irregular periods, it can be challenging to determine when you ovulated, making it harder to choose the best time for a pregnancy test.
  3. Low sensitivity test: Some pregnancy tests have lower sensitivity, which can lead to false-negative results.

Consider the Following

  1. Wait and retest: Wait a few days to a week and take another pregnancy test.
  2. Check for other symptoms: Look for other early pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea, breast tenderness, or fatigue.
  3. Consult a doctor: If you're still unsure, consult a healthcare provider for guidance and a blood test to confirm pregnancy.

I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son. He's been having pain in his lower abdomen for the last couple of days, and it seems to stretch towards the left. This is the third time it's happened in the past two months. The last time, we got all the urine tests, CBC, and an ultrasound done, and they all came back normal. Our physician just gave him some regular medication, and the pain went away. I'm wondering if there's something else we should be doing or if there's a specific cause we might be missing?

I just got back my blood test results and Im a bit concerned. My SGOT level is at 50, SGPT is 83, and total bilirubin is 1.26. Could you give me some advice on how to lower my SGOT and SGPT levels? I'm really anxious to understand what these numbers mean and how I can improve them.

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help lower these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you can take Silymarin. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce SGOT and SGPT levels. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and exercise regularly to support liver health.

I've had air stuck in my throat for several months and I'm burping a lot. Usually, it goes away, but tonight there's this pressure that's not letting up. When I drink water, it seems to help for just a moment, but then the air comes right back up. It's really making it hard for me to sleep, and I feel like I can't breathe properly with all this air stuck there. What could be going on?

That could be Gastritis,no need to worry avoid spicy foods visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.
