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.

Finger vs Vein Blood Test: Key Differences
Difference of finger and vein blood test
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 5th Aug '24
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.

Positive Alcohol Test After Kombucha
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
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 5th Aug '24
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.

Should I Spend Money on AIDS Test Without Symptoms?
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.

Answered on 30th July '24
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.

HIV Testing: One or Multiple Verifications?
Is HIV positive confirmed at once? Or should someone get tested more than once
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 25th July '24
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.

Should I Continue qpcal cmd Without Doctor's Approval?
How long should I take qpcal cmd? My doctor prescribed it for 1 month. Can I continue without doctor advise?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 25th July '24
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.

Is 4th Gen HIV Test at 34 Days Conclusive?
I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 5th July '24
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.

Answered on 26th June '24
Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

Should I take L-ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN after food or before?
uses after food or before food L_ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 14th June '24
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.
