Answered on 4th Sept '24
"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 a 29 year old male. Recently I started a relationship with my girlfriend who is from a different country. She wanted me to get tested for AIDS before we had sexual contact but I informed her that I was a current blood donor and I have recently donated within the last 2 weeks even. I have not been differed or blocked from donating due too having AIDS, nor have I had sexual contact with anyone that has that. So in this situation does it make sense for me to go and spend money to get tested? Also note, there are no symptoms of the above mentioned aliment.
Male | 29
Even recent blood donations don't negate the need for specific checks. AIDS, an Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, often lacks initial symptoms. Testing reveals any presence with certainty. Undergoing this process demonstrates responsibility, safeguarding your well-being and your partner's.

uses after food or before food L_ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN
Female | 20
In general, arginine and proanthocyanidins can usually be taken in the afternoon. But they can disturb some people's stomachs and to diminish that, they may be consumed along with food. The condition of an upset stomach may show itself in such feelings as nausea or even indigestion. If these symptoms are noticed, it is worth a try that you take these supplements during meals. Don’t forget to drink enough water, follow a well-balanced diet, and get in touch with your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

Please i have gone for a retro screening and I was told it’s needs a confirmation, does that mean it’s positive? And I was told the result will be ready after 2 weeks. Please what does that mean?
Female | 26
Sometimes, needing a retro screening isn't serious. However, a diagnosis requires testing first, so don't stress. Waiting for test results takes time to ensure accuracy. Retro infection symptoms differ but often mimic flu symptoms. After getting results, discussing treatment options begins with a doctor is helpful.

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
Male | 28
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.

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.

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 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.

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 a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?
Male | 24
Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

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.

Sir/Madam What's your view on DMIT test? Can I undergo through dmit test?
Female | 18
The Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) uses fingerprint analysis to identify an individual’s strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and personality traits. It’s a safe and painless test aimed at recognizing personal strengths and preferences, rather than diagnosing medical conditions. While it can be insightful, DMIT is not a substitute for medical exams or treatments. If you’re interested and meet the necessary qualifications, you may consider taking the test, but keep in mind its purpose is for self-awareness, not medical evaluation.

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.

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.
