1 Answer

Answered on 11th Nov '24

Coughing up blood can be alarming, but it’s not always due to something serious like cancer. Common causes include lung infections, bronchitis, or excessive coughing. If you notice blood in your spit, it’s best to inform your doctor to help identify the cause. They may run some tests to find the underlying issue. See a doctor to make sure everything is okay.

Hi, I did Antibody hiv 1& 2 Elisa test after 30 days of exposure. Then once again I did Insti antibody 1&2 screening tes after 45 days. In both test my result was negative. Should I do further test for my assurance...please kindly suggest me

Male | 39

The tests you took at 30 and 45 days are generally accurate, but for complete peace of mind, it's best to get tested again 3 months after being exposed. This is because it takes time for the immune system to make enough antibodies that can be detected by the test. In the meantime, if you start feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, rash, sore throat or tiredness, please tell your doctor.

I had a blood transfusion due to which the body has become inflamed

Female | 21

Having inflammation after a blood transfusion is one possibility, as your body might reject the new blood. Some of the symptoms are swelling, redness, or warmth. The reaction to the allergy or the mild side effect could be a reason. It is vital to watch over your symptoms closely. The best things to do are drinking plenty of liquids and resting. Yet, if inflammation continues or gets worse, you might want to notify your healthcare provider, who can give you your own advice and treatment.

Hello I’ve been taking 25 mg atenolol for the last few months for a fast heart rate. I currently have a hemorrhoid and I want to use preparation H to relieve it. Preparation H has 0.25% of phenyleprine in it I know that can raise blood pressure. Should I still take or is there an alternative I can try?

Female | 22

Phenylephrine can raise your blood pressure and it might be unsafe for the heart if one is on atenolol already. In case you have no idea, you can use other treatments for piles that lack this drug like say witch hazel pads alternatively try out nonprescription hydrocortisone creams too. With these substitutes in mind, there won’t be any need to worry about a thing because they will still help soothe them but without affecting or changing anything about how well the medicine works for your heart condition. Nevertheless, should there still be no relief from piles after using these methods then I would advise that you talk with a healthcare professional.

Diagnosed with anemia. Temperature dropping rapidly. Weakness in body. Lack of will to do work. Need spontaneous suggestions regarding medical assistance.

Female | 49

If you suspect you might have anemia, regardless of your age, it's important to inform your doctor. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells, leading to symptoms like weakness, fatigue, and feeling cold. Iron deficiency or other underlying health issues can cause anemia. To address this, you may need to eat iron-rich foods like spinach, meat, and beans. Consult your doctor about iron supplements that can help boost your red blood cell count and energy levels.

My hemoglobin report 8.2 and my esr 125

Male | 37

According to your test results, your hemoglobin level is low, which can cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak. The high ESR number could mean that your body is inflamed. From simple ones, such as anemia, to complex ones, such as infection-are sorts of them. If you want to take your hemoglobin to the right levels, you may have to take in more iron-rich foods by way of diet. Plus, do not forget that the root cause of inflammation is there and lower your ESR count. To improve your hemoglobin, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of inflammation can help lower your ESR level.

In blood test number of platter is 145 . Is it a problem?

Female | 17

A platelet count of 145 is slightly below the normal range, which typically starts around 150. This might not indicate a serious issue, but low platelet counts can sometimes lead to symptoms like easy bruising or prolonged bleeding. Many factors can cause this, including infections, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. It’s essential to discuss your results with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your overall health and recommend any necessary follow-up tests or treatments. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular check-ups is beneficial.

Male | 23

The results of your blood test are nearly within the normal limits. You have a low platelet count, which can be caused by different factors including infections or drugs. Equivalent mean platelet volume does not suggest cancer. It could perhaps be indicative of disorders like platelet destruction. If you do feel difficulties such as abnormal bleeding or bruises, do consult a hematologist.

I have uric acid content high( 7)in my body will it cause any further problems

Male | 17

This may be followed by pain in your joints, swelling, and ruddiness of your skin. For this, foods rich in purines, obese individuals, and those who have certain medical conditions are factors that trigger its occurrence. Drinking a lot of water, eating a nutritious diet, and consulting a hematologist for medications are some of the things you can do to lower uric acid levels.

I have lymph nodes under jaw last more than 8 months

Male | 19

There are so many possible reasons like infections, inflammations, and maybe the growth of a benign tumor that might cause swelling in the space that is under your jaw. The signs can be different, i.e., tenderness or discomfort. It's of great importance to stay vigilant and check for any other symptoms like fever or substantial changes. Even if many cases sort out by themselves, I suggest that you should see a hematologist who could give a full-time evaluation.

Being tired all the time, getting sick a lot, night sweats, and daily headaches can be hard to deal with. These signs might be caused by different things such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or other medical problems. You need to see a doctor who will be able to find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment so that you can start feeling better.

According to the blood test results you provided, the total white blood cell (TLC) count is above the norm, which may be indicative of an infection or inflammation in the body. High TLC may come with symptoms like fever, fatigue, and coolness of the body. To deal with this problem, it is necessary to find the primary cause of the increased TLC level by conducting more tests and getting a doctor's opinion for suitable treatment.

Hi my wife suffering with feaver and vormtings and legs pain.. yesterday blood test done..WBC below 3800 but she is looking very sick ...

Female | 24

Based on her symptoms—fever, vomiting, leg pain, and a low white blood cell count—she likely has an infection. This can cause significant discomfort. Antibiotics may help her immune system fight the infection. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest to recover faster.

I have done health checkup for blood test ..need to know if everything is normal ..I feel fatigue sometimes

Male | 42

Looking tired sometimes can have so many different explanations. The results of your blood screening can show some hints. In case your iron level turns out to be low, your body will be susceptible to fatigue. Having a diet rich in spinach and beans can help increase your iron level. Deficiency of sleep can be a reason for tiredness, too. Regularize the habit of going to bed early and having quality sleep. If the blood test results show any problems, your doctor can find you the appropriate remedy.
