Question 1

I've been dealing with some chest pain for the last couple of months and have noticed a bit of blood in my spit in the mornings on random days. I got a full body check-up, but everything seemed okay except my thyroid and cholesterol levels were slightly elevated. What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

Given your symptoms of chest pain and occasional blood-tinged morning spit, despite a largely normal full-body checkup, it's essential to consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and to further investigate the cause of your symptoms, especially since your thyroid and cholesterol levels are only slightly elevated.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

A faint line alongside a dark line on a UPT usually indicates a positive result, meaning you may be pregnant. I understand this might be overwhelming. If you're not ready to continue the pregnancy, options such as consulting a healthcare provider for a safe early pregnancy termination can be explored. It's important to discuss your feelings and options with a trusted doctor.

Question 5

I found out I had Hepa B a couple of years back after an hbsag screening, and I was told it might go away by itself. So recently, I got my blood screened again, and the result came back as nonreactive. Could this mean the virus has cleared up on its ...

Accepted Answer

I'm happy to help clarify this for you.

*Understanding Your Hepatitis B Test Results*

*Initial Diagnosis (2 years ago)*

- You tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), indicating an active Hepatitis B infection.

*Recent Test Results*

- Your recent HBsAg test result is "non-reactive," which means the virus is no longer detectable in your blood.

*What Does This Mean?*

A non-reactive HBsAg result suggests that:

1. *Viral clearance*: Your body may have cleared the Hepatitis B virus on its own, which is possible in some cases.
2. *Viral suppression*: Alternatively, the virus might still be present but at undetectable levels, possibly due to your immune system's response.

However, to confirm whether you've truly cleared the virus, you should undergo further testing, such as:

1. *HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody) test*: This checks for antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus, indicating immunity.
2. *HBV DNA (Hepatitis B virus DNA) test*: This measures the viral load in your blood.

Question 6

I'm really worried because I've had this cough for about 10 days now. I tried taking Banocide and Zyrcold, but they didn't help. I'm thinking about trying Azax 500, but I'm unsure if it's safe for me to take. Could you give me some advice on this?
