Question 1

I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a couple of months now, but I haven't really noticed a lot of relief. Lately, I've also started feeling this soreness at the back of my throat, like there's some food stuck or something, even though there's no pain or trouble swallowing. Is it possible that this could be related to H. Pylori, and is it known to be difficult to treat? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Accepted Answer

Based on your WBC (White Blood Cell) count:

_Normal WBC range_: 4,000-11,000 cellsL
_Your WBC count_: 12,100 cellsL (mildly elevated)

_Elevated WBC count possible causes_:

1. _Stress_: Stress can cause a temporary increase in WBC count.
2. _Infection_: Mild infections, like a cold or flu, can also cause elevated WBC.
3. _Inflammation_: Yoga and pranayama are great, but intense physical activity can cause temporary inflammation, leading to elevated WBC.

_Monitor and adjust_:

1. _Repeat WBC test_: After a few days to see if the count returns to normal.
2. _Manage stress_: Continue yoga and pranayama, and consider additional stress-reducing techniques.
3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from stress and inflammation.

Beta hCG Value_

1. _Normal range_: 6 weeks 6 days: 27,300 - 233,000 mIUmL.
2. _Your value_: 149,449 mIUmL, which is within the normal range.

_Possible Implications of High hCG Values_

1. _Miscalculated gestational age_: High hCG values might indicate a miscalculated gestational age.
2. _Multiple pregnancy_: High hCG values can be associated with multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.).
3. _Molar pregnancy_: In rare cases, high hCG values can indicate a molar pregnancy.

_Ultrasound Scan_

1. _Gestational sac and yolk sac_: Presence of these structures indicates a normal pregnancy.
2. _Heartbeat check_: Scheduled for the 20th, this will confirm fetal viability.

_Next Steps_

1. _Attend the scheduled ultrasound_: Confirm fetal heartbeat and assess fetal development.
2. _Discuss hCG values with your doctor_: Clarify any concerns regarding your hCG levels.
3. _Follow-up appointments_: Regular prenatal check-ups will monitor your pregnancy's progress.

Question 3

My husband had a USG report showing 5.9mm gallbladder polyps six months ago. Should we be worried about this? Does he need surgery for it?

Accepted Answer

needs P/E for better advice.

I've been having this weird issue for the past two months where my stomach feels like it's beating, kind of like a heartbeat. It's freaking me out a little, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest
