- Sir/Madam, good evening. I have been suffering from digestion problems for the last 40 days. On 10th April, I had fever along with 12 times loose motion, but I got relief after taking paracetamol. My body temperature stayed around 99.4 during the day and returned to normal in the morning and evening for the next 3 days. I took Augmentine 625 thrice a day and Hatric 3 twice a day for 2 days, after which I developed severe acidity problems. My doctor then prescribed me Pentoz DSR and Melzap MD for 7 days, but when symptoms continued, he changed my medicines to Pantoprazole DSR and Normaxin RT for 10 days, which gave me around 30 percent relief. Currently, I am taking Erojole DSR and Udinol 300 twice a day, and this has improved my condition up to 70 percent, reducing acidity, heaviness in the chest, and pain. I am attaching my LFT test and Widal test report. Could you please suggest what the reports indicate and guide me further based on my condition?
- Respected Doctor, I have been experiencing gas and indigestion for the past two months, sometimes accompanied by nausea. I also notice white mucus in my stool, along with brain fog and anxiety. My recent blood tests show
Hemoglobin is 11.9 (RBC count 4.31, previously 12.5 in October 2021 and 15 in August 2020
WBC count is 9800 (Neutrophils 59 percent, Lymphocytes 34 percent, Eosinophils 4 percent, Monocytes 3 percent)
RDW is 16.3
Liver function tests are SGPT 28.2, SGOT 28, Bilirubin Direct 0.12, Indirect 0.2, Alkaline Phosphatase 88
I also have hypertension and am taking CTD T 6.25/40 in the morning and Met XL 25 at night. Additionally, I have been taking Pan D capsule for the past year on an empty stomach in the morning. My hemoglobin is gradually decreasing. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and the drop in hemoglobin, and what further tests or treatment I may need?
- I have been dealing with stomach discomfort and indigestion for several months, which started after a course of antibiotics and painkillers in August. Since then, I have been experiencing nausea, indigestion, and smelly gas. A few months ago, a USG of the abdomen showed a gallbladder polyp of 2.8 mm, but I am not sure if my current issues are related to that. I am worried about stomach cancer, and this anxiety is affecting me mentally. I also lose weight easily despite going to the gym regularly for weight training (no cardio). My LFT, urine, stool, and CBC were normal. I was low on Vitamin D, so I am taking supplements weekly. I feel like every day a new problem arises, which increases my anxiety. I am mentally stressed due to my physical health issues. I want to know how to restore my gut health and feel normal again. I feel that these problems started after taking Covaxin, and it has left me very anxious. What should I do?
- I have small lymph node enlargement all over my body, mostly near both ears (front and back), both sides of the neck under jaw, both armpits, and inguinal region for more than 1.75 years? I visited many doctors, including CMC Vellore in the hematology department? They told me blood work is normal, and since the lymph nodes are small, they cannot perform FNAC? My blood report and USG of the whole abdomen are normal? They said to come back only if the size increases; otherwise, nothing to worry? They also referred me to surgery and infectious disease departments? Their opinion was almost the same: if size increases, then come?
I am living in confusion and do not understand what to do? My armpit lymph nodes are painful and lingering all the time? I visited many doctors in Kolkata, but there is no solution? Kindly suggest what I can do, as I can feel these lymph nodes and pain over certain areas like armpits, under jaw, and in front of ears? I am also diagnosed with retraction of ear drum?
- For the past two years, my lymphocyte count has been high, around 46 percent of my total WBC. Recently, I had another CBC test, and both my lymphocyte and WBC counts are coming down. About two years ago, I had a sexual exposure, after which I did multiple HIV antibody tests, including one 1.5 years later, all of which were negative. These tests were conducted at three different certified laboratories. Could my past high lymphocyte count be related to HIV? Is it possible that all my HIV test results were false negatives even after 18 months? I am feeling extremely anxious, am I free from HIV, or should I be concerned?
- Hi, I am 37 years old and have uric acid levels around 6.5 to 8 mg/dl with ups and downs. I generally take Zyloric 100 mg twice a day. My test reports are as follows: on 12th July 7 mg/dl, on 23rd July 6.01 mg/dl (while taking Zyloric 100 mg twice a day), and on 18th August 9.5 mg/dl. Creatinine is 1.01 mg/dl.
I have recently lost 12 kg in the last 50 days through diet and exercise. During the last two reports, I was on a keto diet with over 90 percent vegetarian food. I am confused about why my uric acid has risen. I consumed spinach, mushrooms, paneer, cauliflower, and other vegetables three times a week, along with flax seeds, chia seeds, and watermelon seeds. Some sources say spinach and mushrooms can raise uric acid, while others say they do not.
I am finding it difficult to control my uric acid without identifying the reason. Could you please guide me on how to control it and suggest remedies? Thank you.
- My uncle tested positive for COVID 19 eight days ago. Initially, he had a mild fever, but he recovered after taking the prescribed medications. However, during a follow up blood test yesterday, his D dimer, SGPT, and SGOT levels were elevated. The doctor prescribed blood thinning medication based on these results, but after starting the new medication, his condition seems to have worsened, his coughing has increased, and he is experiencing significant fatigue. We are unsure whether this is a side effect of the new medication or a sign of something more serious. I have attached the reports for reference.
- In general checkup my fasting blood sample report shows total RBC 6.61, MCHC 29.1 g per dl, RDW SD 49 fl, RDW CV 14.9 percent, platelet 150000, PCT 0.17 percent, BUN by SR. creatinine ratio 28.64, calcium 8.3 mg per dl, hs CRP 12.26 mg per L, vitamin D 21.93 ng per ml, vitamin B12 362 pg per ml, SGOT 71.7 u per l, protein 8.73 gm per dl, serum globulin 4.6 gm per dl, serum creatinine 0.66 mg per dl, triglycerides 161 mg per dl. Mainly I am concerned about hs CRP, SGOT, and platelet. Why are they abnormal and is it any danger? Please give me your advice.
- About 10 days ago, I tested positive for typhoid. However, I did not have a fever, my main symptoms were weakness, vomiting, and gastric issues. My Typhi Dot IgM was positive, and the titre was slightly elevated. I took Doxcef O for 10 days and also received the typhoid vaccine. Despite this, I still feel like vomiting after eating, and I am experiencing leg pain and overall weakness. This is the first time I have had typhoid, and someone mentioned that I might have become a chronic carrier, which has made me anxious. Is this a serious issue, or can it be fully cured? How long does recovery usually take? I have attached my report for your review.
- I have been following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, and I have successfully lost around 8 kg. I avoid sugar, use minimal olive oil, and include green vegetables and other healthy foods in my diet. Previously, I had fatty liver, but the related values have now returned to normal. However, despite my efforts, some values in my recent reports, specifically HDL, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol are not improving. I am 28 years old, 5.6 inch tall, and currently weigh 68 kg. I have attached my reports. Could you please help me understand why these values are not coming down and if there is anything else I should be doing?
- I recently had a complete haemogram done, and the results showed that my haemoglobin, total RBC, total WBC, lymphocytes, POV, platelet count, MCV, and MCH are all highly imbalanced, with some values being either too high or too low. Currently, I am not experiencing any major physical problems except for hair fall. I want to understand why my blood report is showing such imbalances and what steps I should take.
- I am experiencing severe hair fall. It first started with itching and hair loss, so I consulted a doctor. She prescribed Allegra, Momate lotion, Scaboma lotion, and a tablet called Bandy Plus. She also advised me to do some tests, including Vitamin B12, Ferritin, Vitamin D, Thyroid, and CBC. My reports came back normal, and while the itching has stopped, the hair fall continues. I am not sure what is causing this. What should I do next? I am attaching my CBC report for your review.
- I am 49 years old and recently underwent a health check up. My report shows that my iron is 222, transferrin saturation is 53.89 percent, total cholesterol is 209 mg/dl, LDL is 133 mg/dl, and eGFR is 85. My eosinophils are 10.5 percent, MCV is 112.6, MCH is 32.8, MCHC is 29.1, RDW SD is 63.7, and RDW CV is 15.1. Could you please review these values and let me know if anything is abnormal? Also, which type of doctor should I consult in Chennai for further evaluation?
