Hi, I am 22 weeks pregnant. My recent tests show: Glucose challenge test: 65 mg/dL Urine: Pus cells 5 to 6/hpf, Epithelial cells 4 to 6/hpf Hemoglobin: 11.1 g/dL Are these results normal, or is there anything to be concerned about?

I recently had a urine test showing 6 to 10 pus cells. Today, I noticed an extra mass of skin near my anus, which is also painful. Could this be something serious, or is it related to a urinary tract infection? Please advise.

Recently, my doctor prescribed Levosulpiride for gastroesophageal reflux, Nexium 40 for acidity, and Desora for allergies for one month. After completing the course, I am still experiencing chest tightness, throat tightness, and shortness of breath. I consulted another doctor, who reviewed my urine test report and found pus cells and traces. I am confused about the cause since I feel I have not been properly diagnosed. What should I do next?
