View allI'm experiencing some concerning pain in my chest, arms, and shoulders. I've already had an ECG, Echocardiogram, and TMT test done, and all the results were normal. After an endoscopy, I was diagnosed with H. pylori and took antibiotics for two weeks, followed by more medication for about seven weeks now. But I'm still feeling this pain. Is it something I should be worried about, or is it normal?
no, take tablet zerodol for 3 days, if it still paining consult a physician

I've got a quick question about my hbsag levels. They came back at 0.01, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Is that a normal reading, or should I be worried? I'd really like to understand the normal hbsag range and find out how serious it could be if it's active. Just trying to wrap my head around this, and any advice would be appreciated.
Your HBsAg level of 0.01 likely indicates no active infection, but its essential to discuss the result with your doctor for proper interpretation based on your health condition. If active, Hepatitis B can be dangerous, but it is manageable with proper care and treatment.
