I've been dealing with a fever every evening accompanied by chills for over 20 days, but I didn't have any other symptoms. So, I went to see a physician, took antibiotics, and had all kinds of blood tests done, along with a chest X-ray and a CT scan. Everything came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated. Now, the fever is gone, but the ESR count is still high, and none of the doctors can figure out why. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a 20-year-old girl and I'm really worried because my ESR in blood is 93, and my hb is 10.50. I also found out I have a deficiency in vitamin D. What could be causing my high ESR?

The high ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) in your blood could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers. Given your low hemoglobin level and vitamin D deficiency, it is important to address these issues as well. To help reduce inflammation and lower your ESR, you can take Ibuprofen for a few days. Additionally, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your conditions.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Omnacortil 5 and Wyslone 5. My doctor prescribed Wyslone 5, but the pharmacy only had Omnacortil 5 available. Is there any issue if I go with Omnacortil 5 instead of sticking strictly to the prescription? I'm worried about getting the right treatment.

Both Omnacortil 5 and Wysolone 5 contain the same active ingredient, which is Prednisolone. They are both corticosteroids used to treat various conditions such as inflammation, allergic reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, there should not be a significant difference between the two medications. You can go ahead and use Omnacortil 5 as a substitute for Wysolone 5 as per your doctor's prescription. Just make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor.

I'm dealing with Ankylosing Spondylitis and I've noticed my pulse rate is always pretty high, often over 120 per minute. My blood pressure sometimes hits around 14080, with creatinine levels at 0.89. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, and what steps can I take to keep my pulse under 90 and my blood pressure below 12080?
