You may feel weak and numb after giving blood. That's normal, especially if the process was tough. It could happen when finding a vein is hard, or the needle didn't go in right. Multiple tries with pressure can cause those effects. Take rest and drink water to recover. But if it persists, speak with the doctor who did the blood test.

Difference of finger and vein blood test
Female | 19
Blood tests involve two procedures: finger prick or vein draw. The finger prick is simpler and quicker. However, vein drawing gives detailed information. If your symptoms seem mild, a finger prick may suffice. Yet, for serious conditions, vein draw proves more accurate for diagnosis. Ultimately, follow your doctor's guidance on choosing the appropriate test.

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test
Male | 20
If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.

Top-T test report is negative what can I do
Male | 28
If the Top-T test comes back negative, you don't have tuberculosis. That's great! But your symptoms may still need to be looked into. Be sure to keep seeing your doctor regularly. They'll help determine what's causing your issues and get you proper treatment.

I need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.
Male | 44
Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

Multiple small symmetrical hyperdensities are seen likely clothing artifacts. In chest xray what is this meaning
Female | 25
"Symmetrical hyperdensities" on the chest X-ray probably come from your clothes. Sometimes clothing can appear in X-rays, looking peculiar. It's nothing concerning health-wise. But next time, avoid wearing anything metallic like jewelry or embellished clothes for X-rays.

I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?
Male | 34
You cannot test your cell calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your cells can make you feel weak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some medicines may cause high cell calcium levels. If you have high cell calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try other treatments.

How many times albendazole and lvermicin can I take in a year
Male | 50
Using albendazole or ivermectin improperly can harm your health. A doctor prescribes albendazole one or two times yearly to treat intestinal worms. Meanwhile, ivermectin treats stubborn parasites like scabies or strongyloidiasis once annually. These medicines eliminate parasites causing stomach discomfort, itching, and tiredness.

How long should I take qpcal cmd? My doctor prescribed it for 1 month. Can I continue without doctor advise?
Male | 43
Doctors prescribe Qpcal CMD for certain symptoms. Following your doctor's advice about taking medicine is important. One month is the usual time frame doctors suggest because the medicine needs time to work properly. Taking it longer may not always be necessary or safe. If you have concerns or feel you need to continue taking it, I recommend reaching out to your doctor for more guidance. Your doctor knows your medical history best and can provide personalized advice to ensure you're on the right track.

Myself Rohan, I got vaccinated 20 days ago of anti rabies vaccine of 4 doses . Today I got scratch a little caused by a cat leading to bleed a little bit.. I need a clarification.. should i do again vaccinated. Thank you so much
Male | 21
If your vaccine is 20 days old if you accidentally hit a cat and it starts bleeding, there is no need to go through the vaccination process again. The vaccine that you took ought to have defended you from rabies. You have to clean the surface of the cut with soap and water, then apply a bandage on it and check if it is red, swollen, or has a hot sensation. If you experience any unexpected symptoms, make sure to call your doctor.

Sir I m 25 years old boy .Sir someone implanted a RFID chip in my body . please can u help me find out how can I detect the chip in my body .which type of process is required for full body scan to find out it.
Male | 26
You cannot feel an RFID chip just by touching it. A full body scan like an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan may help see the chip. You may feel pain, swelling, or odd feelings near the chip spot. If you think you have an RFID chip, go see a doctor to check and do what needs done.

I had a drink of kombucha not the whole thing just a couple sips I also started a new medication and went for a drug test and it was positive for alcohol I've had a false positive before
Female | 28
Sometimes, kombucha may have teeny-tiny alcohol amounts. It's kinda like a little beer sip. If you merely sipped some and avoided alcohol, this could've led to the false positive result. Before testing, mention any kombucha or meds you've had. That way, they'll account for it when checking results.

It’s getting bloodwork for herpes after 12 days too soon
Male | 30
Getting blood work for herpes can be tricky. It might take some time for the virus to show in your blood test results. That is why you should wait a few weeks before testing for herpes. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of herpes. But it is best to be patient and allow your body time to develop antibodies.

Is HIV positive confirmed at once? Or should someone get tested more than once
Female | 50
After HIV testing, the virus sometimes doesn't appear for weeks or months. This means a negative initial test isn't final proof. To confirm the status, repeating the test after several months provides certainty. Signs of HIV include tiredness, losing weight, and frequent illness. Safe sexual practices and routine testing prevent risk.

CRP/CBP/WIDAL. I had the test done. I want to know what's in the report
Male | 22
CRP stands for C-Reactive Protein. It is a test that checks for signs of inflammation in the body. If your CRP level is high, it means there is inflammation somewhere. CBP is a Complete Blood Picture. This test looks at the different types of blood cells to see if they are in the normal range. Widal is a test for typhoid fever. If the Widal test is positive, it could mean you have typhoid fever. Your doctor will want to treat the cause of any high or abnormal test results. They may give your medicine or other treatment.

My wife is 11 weeks pregnant. She did some blood tests and one was an hiv test which came back reactive. Since then she has had 2 dna tests both negative. They are running 2 rna tests. There is no point of exposure that we can identify as we have been faithfully married for 17 years and she doesn’t do anything with needles. To me it seems like this was a false positive but I’m still so scared.
Female | 36
A reactive test can be scary, but it's important to know that false positives can happen. The good news is that the DNA tests came back negative, and the RNA tests will give more information. Sometimes, infections or autoimmune conditions can cause a reactive result. Stay calm and wait for the RNA test results. If you need more advice, please consult your doctor.

I want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.
Female | 33
Periods come on schedule each month, as usual. But sometimes their timing shifts due to stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking tablets to make your period arrive early is unsafe without medical advice - side effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle should run its course. If your period schedule is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endanger your health.
