Post-Blood Test Weakness and Numbness: Normal or Concerning?

After my blood test i feel weakness and a bit of numbness in my hand ..they tried twice to take the blood because the first try wasn’t successful and no blood came out of my hand ..is this a normal thing ??i am writing you after 40 hours from the blood test

Answered on 5th Aug '24

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.

It looks like there is a possibility that your message was misunderstood. In case you suffer from weird symptoms such as tiredness, pain, or discomfort that seems not normal, it may be due to stress, an unbalanced diet, or even infections. It's crucial to follow your body's signals and notice any changes. Therapy through lifestyle changes such as drinking enough water, eating a balanced diet, and doing some relaxation exercises can help you, rather easily. Nonetheless, if the symptoms persist or are worrying, I advise you to make a doctor's appointment and get a complete check-up.

By mistake my niece swallow bleaching powder what should we do

Female | 7

Ingesting bleaching powder can be very harmful. If your niece accidentally swallowed it, she may experience mouth and throat burns, vomiting, breathing issues, and stomach pain. Seek medical help immediately. Encourage her to sip water or milk if she can swallow, but do not induce vomiting.

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.

My mom had taken echo test yesterday....I want to share the reports can you please check

Female | 49

There are specific signs such as chest tightness or shortness of breath that can be related to different medical problems, meager in severity to very serious. The reporting can be quite challenging to understand, so for me, the best approach is to talk to her doctor about them and follow the advice given by her healthcare provider. Having regular checkups is crucial since it provides the best care for your mom that is personalized to her condition. Your initiative is impressive, and seeking clarity is indeed a smart move!

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.

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.

Hi, I would like some medical reports checked. How can it be attached here?

Male | 72

Getting medical reports tested in person is the best, hence it is good to discuss them with your health care provider. That said, if you wish to share more information, you can detail any symptoms you may be going through. For example, if you are tired, dizzy, or suffering from stomach pains such as appendicitis or sigmoid colon they've been and infection, austere or stiff deficiencies, or other conditions could be the reasons.

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.

So I just need to ask something related to blood test reports what does beta HCG 522.49 mIU/ML indicates

Female | 21

A pregnancy test reading of 522.49 mIU/ML may be normal for the early stages of pregnancy or be an indicator of an abnormal pregnancy if it is not accompanied by other symptoms. The pituitary gland, controlled by the increased level of the hormone involved, is responsible for promoting testosterone synthesis and release. Implantation bleeding is the light and short bleeding that may be experienced between the 6th and 12th day after conception. This hormone is secreted during the early phase of human pregnancy. The levels of bHCG are constantly changing in the first trimester. It is important to note that other symptoms such as the absence of menstruation, a feeling of sickness, or fatigue may appear. If you are presented with any uncommon signals, the first thing to do is to see a doctor for appropriate medical procedures. Therefore, an appointment with a healthcare provider will clarify the significance of this result to your health and also provide you with the next steps.

Doctors prescribe­ Qpcal CMD for certain symptoms. Following your doctor's advice about taking medicine­ is important.

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.

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.
