View allWhat exactly is this viral load thing I've been hearing about? I'm stressing about my health a lot. Is hepatitis B something that can be cured? My test results came back saying HBsAg is provisionally reactive, and the lab suggested I get an HBsAg confirmatory test. I haven't noticed any of the symptoms I've read about online, but I'm feeling very tired and have lost a lot of weight, going from 68 kg to 58 kg. Could this be because of hepatitis B? How do I find out if this is an acute or chronic infection, and is it something fatal or life-threatening? I'm really worried here.
Viral load refers to the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) present in your blood; a confirmatory test will determine if you're infected; Hepatitis B can be managed, but not completely cured; symptoms like fatigue and weight loss can occur, but it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment; acute HBV is typically self-limiting, while chronic HBV requires ongoing management; it's not immediately life-threatening, but if left untreated, can lead to liver damage or cancer; schedule an appointment with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss your results, determine the stage of infection, and develop a treatment plan.

I've been having this dull chest pain for about two weeks now, and I can't shake the worry. It's mostly on the left side and sometimes comes with numbness and pain in my left arm and shoulder. Plus, I notice it more after doing any physical activity. On another note, I've been having green stools for the last couple of days, along with bloating, gas, and constipation. I even tried taking Dulcoflex, but it just resulted in watery green stools. I had two ECGs done, and both were normal, so my cardiologist thinks its unlikely to be a heart condition. I'm also dealing with obesity, gallstones, and kidney stones, and I've been on meds for acidity and muscle pain for a couple of weeks without any relief. Im not sure what I should do next. Should I see a gastroenterologist or stick with the cardiologist? I'm really confused about what these symptoms could mean. What do you suggest I do next?
That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest
