Answered on 23rd May '24
If your blood test shows that anti-HBs is positive, it means that you have antibodies against the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). This result indicates that you are either immune to hepatitis B or have been successfully vaccinated against the virus.

The problem I’m having is that I had high blood pressure some weeks again and I took drug it goes back to normal some days after I noticed that I’m my stern notch is pulsing whenever I place my finger on it it kinda heavy and also I’m having diarrhea after eating chest pain and sometimes as if something is in my throat and I’m always weak and feel bloated And I did an X-ray on my chest everything is normal
Female | 24
Acid reflux might cause your chest pain. A lump-in-throat sensation, bloating, and diarrhea after meals are signs. Stomach acid flows back up the food pipe. Smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods help. Don't lie down after eating. Drink lots of water too. This condition is when stomach acid flows up. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem continues.

i am having black hard stool after every two days ..and it causes pain in my anal area
Female | 26
When you're having trouble pooping, it could be constipation. Your poop is dark and dry. Pooping is painful. This happens if your poop is moving too slowly through your body. You may not be drinking enough liquid. Or eating enough fiber. Drink more water. Eat fruits and veggies to help soften your poop. Talk to a gastroenterologist if this problem continues after trying to fix it yourself.

My stomach is empty and upset and I'm unable to drink water without feeling nauseous. I've taken pepto bismol and I've been eating bread yet nothing's helping. What do I do?
Female | 21
It seems like you might have gastritis. This occurs when the lining of your stomach becomes inflamed and can result in feelings of queasiness as well as an upset stomach. Consuming bread or using Pepto-Bismol may not help alleviate these symptoms. To keep hydrated, try drinking clear fluids such as broth or ginger tea. Additionally, you should avoid eating spicy foods that could further irritate it since they tend to be acidic too while fatty ones take longer to digest besides causing discomfort hence worsening the situation even more should this happen. For proper treatment seek medical attention if they persist beyond what is expected.

I want to get my mother checked for Piles. She has some problems. A preventive check up for Piles.
Female | 58
Piles oriented as hemorrhoids can sit uncomfortably. Defining features are potential pain, itching, and bleeding in the area around the bottom. Strains during bowel movements, sitting still long, or lacking fiber in the diet are reasons for it. Alternatives may include a high-rope diet, drinking lots of water, and applying top-rated ointments on the skin. Take care of your diet and go to a gastroenterologist if necessary.

Hi, I am a healthy 54 year old male. I have been doing some routine annual lab tests near my home, where they do comprehensive labs for check-up. I have been doing it for several years, and everything is basically normal. However, I just received a lab result, CA 19-9, which is elevated (44), normal is below 34. I actually had this lab test CA 19-9 way back in 7/2022, when the level was 12 (normal). Then I had it in annual testing on 9/2023, and it was 25 (but within normal limits). In the past 6-12 months, I have had normal lactate and amylase levels too. Also, all my other blood test from yesterday were normal, including liver function test (and normal bilirubin), normal CBC, normal CEA level, normal amylase, normal sedimentation rate, normal TSH, normal blood chemistry. Of note, I also had a normal DNA stool test (cologuard) 3 years ago. I also had normal FIT stool test 2 months ago, and also last year (twice it was normal). I have no symptoms and no weight loss, and no signs of jaundice. I am not overweight either, and I do not smoke nor drink alcohol. And no one in my family has had cancer before. As I mentioned, this was incidental, but I would like to know your opinion if this is ominous, and next steps. I have schedule a full body MRI scan for next week too. Thank you.

An increase in the level of CA 199 causes an alarm. You will get the most thorough examination if you consult a specialist. However, because CA 199 levels can be associated with certain gastrointestinal conditions, you may want to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist as well.

I am 42 year old male,having acidity and mild pain on upper side of abdomen,I am using antacid but after 2-3days relief,today it again started.
Male | 42
It sounds like you're experiencing severe acid reflux, which can cause pain in the upper abdomen. This happens when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, leading to discomfort. To help manage this, try avoiding spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and remain upright after eating. You might also consider taking antacids or acid reducers. If the pain persists, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist.

You may be experiencing indigestion, which can cause heaviness and pain in the stomach. This happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. Common symptoms include a feeling of fullness and stomach bloating. To ease these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, avoid spicy or greasy foods, and stay upright after eating. If the symptoms persist, it's best to visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and advice.

Male | 36
A bilirubin count of 1.42 corresponds to a mild case of jaundice or icterus, which is due to bilirubin being increased in the blood. I would suggest that you go to a gastroenterologist for a more detailed analysis and treatment. It is important that you get medical treatment early to avoid the complications which may occur with this condition.

I have been taking zerodol and antibiotics for 5 days. And after the completion of the course I am having some acid reflux. What should I do ?
Female | 26
You have acid reflux after you finish your medications. The antibiotics might have disturbed your stomach, playing a role in developing acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and sit up straight after eating. You can also consider taking over-the-counter antacids. If the symptoms last, it is better to follow up with a gastroenterologist.

I m 20 years old I have symptoms like tail bone pain, inflammation nd blood in stool
Female | 20
Inflammation of the tailbone and blood in your stool together may be warnings of a condition called hemorrhoids which is the consequence of the expansion of blood vessels around the rectum or anal area causing pain. Generally, we can say that blood vessels in the rectum or anus swell up which leads to pain. The most common causes are straining when going to the toilet and sitting for prolonged periods. To help with your symptoms, drink a lot of water, eat fiber rich foods, and not sit for too long. If symptoms remain, consult a gastroenterologist for personalized care.

Is pain in left rib cage is serious UTI symptom?
Male | 16
This pain is likely not from a urinary tract infection. UTIs usually cause problems like peeing often, burning when you pee, and cloudy pee. Left rib pain can come from other causes like strained muscles or swelling. If the pain sticks around or gets worse, it's a good idea to see a doctor. They can find out what's causing the pain and give you the right treatment.
