Question 1

I had a gastric issue that was resolved with medication, but I recently did a complete blood test. The results showed my hs-CRP level is 9, though my cholesterol levels are normal. I'm really curious about what this means and if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help explain this?

Question 2

I'm 26 and have been experiencing chest pain for about a month and a half now. I checked my ECG, and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Sometimes it feels like a pressing sensation, and other times it feels like something's moving inside my chest, shifting from the middle to the top, or from the left side to the middle. What could this be?

Accepted Answer

do chest x ray

Question 3

I've been dealing with a recurrent pericardial effusion and had it removed twice already. After the second removal, I was given steroids but stopped them after a month, and now the effusion is happening again. I've also been on TB medications for four months. I'm really concerned about this recurring issue. Can you suggest any permanent solutions or steps I should take next?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you are dealing with recurrent pericardial effusion despite previous treatments. Since you have been diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) and have been taking TB medications for the past 4 months, it is important to continue with your TB treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider. In addition to TB treatment, your healthcare provider may consider prescribing colchicine to help prevent recurrent pericardial effusion. Colchicine has been shown to be effective in reducing the recurrence of pericardial effusion in patients with a history of recurrent episodes. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of adding colchicine to your treatment regimen for a more permanent solution to your recurrent pericardial effusion.
