It looks like there are certain elements that are below the required levels in your body. For it to function properly, your body needs them. Feeling tired, weak, or unlike yourself can be signs of insufficient amounts of these substances. When some substances are too many, then it may mean that the body is fighting something. To help you feel better soon, you might have to take such supplements like Vitamin B12 or Iron among others.

I am suffering from enlarged spleen, splenic nodules, splenic focal lesion, ileal wall thickening, enlarged lymph nodes, pleural effusion. What is the disease
Female | 43
You may have a condition that is called lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer type that harms the lymphatic system, such as the spleen, lymph nodes, and other organs. Symptoms could involve enlarged spleen and lumps in the spleen, thickening of the ileal wall, and pleural effusion. Interestingly, the typical approach for lymphoma addresses therapy with radiation, chemotherapy, and sometimes surgery. It is essential to work with your doctor in order to fully investigate and then create a healthcare plan that is specifically developed for you in connection with the discovered condition.

I am suffering from fever from the past four days. Yesterday, I got my blood test checked, which included CBC Report, CRP report, and dengue and malaria test. CBC report is normal Dengue and malaria test Both negative CRP 34.1 Very high Doctor prescribed me, some medicines Relating to fever and pain killer I am feeling night sweats.
Male | 28
You are experiencing a hard time caused by that fever and high CRP level. Night sweats are one way for your body to show that it is fighting an infection. A high CRP may be a sign of inflammation in your body. Your doctor prescribing you fever medicines and painkillers is the correct way. Do not forget to rest properly, drink plenty of fluids, and listen to your doctor's orders.

I am a 7 month old baby's breastfeeding mother. I had a c section delivery but even after 7 months my body weakness is not getting better. Sometime this weakness is fine and sometimes I feel very weak. Now since last 2 3 days I am feeling dizzy, having constipation, acidity and shortness of breath and my wrist and feet are also trembling sometimes. I thought this is anemic symptoms.
Female | 25
I think perhaps you’re showing signs of a lack of iron, which often occurs after having a baby. You might feel weak, lightheaded, out of breath or have trembling hands and feet. You could also get constipated, have heartburn or feel low. Eating red meat, spinach and lentils can help because they are high in this mineral. You might also need to take an iron supplement. But talk to your doctor to make sure that’s what it is and work out a plan for getting better.

I'm a 20 year old male, with one swollen groin lymph node or so it feels that I've discovered about a month and a half ago, it was tender for about the first week but isn't anymore
Male | 20
When you have infections, the lymph nodes in your groin tend to swell up. It could be that there is a simple infection or in some rare cases, something more serious. Since it is now more than a month and there is no pain, this shows positive progress. It would be wise however to see a doctor if they do not go away or you experience any other symptoms.

Low hemoglobin A2 , weakness
Female | 30
Low hemoglobin A2 causes weakness and fatigue. Your body lacks iron. Insufficient iron happens when the diet lacks iron-rich foods like beans, spinach, red meat. Boost hemoglobin A2 by discussing iron supplements or diet changes with a doctor.

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.

Female | 55
Fever can be out by infections such as the flu. Vaccination can sometimes cause low-grade fever as a normal reaction. Since you have a rituximab appointment on 1 October, you must explain your fever to your doctor before proceeding with the treatment. They will give you the best advice tailored to your situation.

Based on your explanation, you are familiar with fever and have also noticed blood in your urine. This could be a symptom of a urinary tract infection or a sign of kidney problems, both of which can also cause weakness. It would be best to consult a doctor within a few days to determine the cause and receive the appropriate care.

Getting bigger spleen from 10 cm to 12.1 cm can be bad sign. It can mean infections, liver problems, or blood issues. You might feel pain in belly or feel full fast. More tests like blood work or scans may be needed to know why. It is important to see a doctor for the right care.

Male | 20
Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

So my friend has her blood test done recently as she was having low fever, cough, shivers and vomitings. The report showed that she has 57.03 U/dl of CRP after the medication as well it continued to increase to 74.03 CRP although the symptoms such as fever, cough, shivers and vomitings have reduced just wanted to know if such levels of CRP are severe and life threatening or not cause we are worried
Female | 19
A high level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood, even after medication, can be a sign of persistent inflammation or infection in the body. If not treated, this could become a danger. The good news, the symptoms have improved, but the increasing levels of CRP are a reason for concern, as they indicate that the problem needs to be investigated further by a doctor to determine the underlying cause and ensure appropriate treatment.

I'm depressed that is I'm hiv positive pls help me
Male | 19
If you have recently been diagnosed with HIV, it is quite normal to feel low. Symptoms of HIV include fever, sore throat, and being more tired than usual. The virus makes the immune system weaker, so the body cannot fight infections easily. Always, keep the thought in your mind that HIV is treatable with the help of medications. Medicines can indeed assist you in leading a healthy life. Discuss with your doctor initiating medication and going to support groups.

Female | 26
If you had unprotected intimate relations in 2022 and your HIV test was negative in October 2023. You are not required to take another test as long as you haven't been risky since then. HIV symptoms sometimes show up late, so if you feel something out of the blue, like inexplicable weight loss or too many infections, then it's good to get tested again.

Male | 55
CEA stands for Carcinoembryonic Antigen, a protein produced in the body, and the levels of it in the body may be high because of different causes such as inflammation or infection. Usual symptoms are unusual with a slight increase in CEA levels, but further tests and monitoring are also often necessary. It’s important to visit your healthcare provider to find out the exact reasons for your condition and the best ways to fight it.

I have 16 pea sized lymph nodes I am 57kg my height is 5ft 10 I’ve had them for almost 2 years and they haven’t got bigger or changed I’ve had blood tests previously and they all came back fine. I do have 2 under my jaw that’s a bit bigger than a pea though. Is it a concern? I have no symptoms except bad anxiety. I am highly afraid of cancers
Male | 17
Your lymph nodes not changing size or growing for two years is good. When it comes to cancer we tend to worry a lot due to anxiety. They might remain slightly enlarged sometimes. It’s usually benign but it would be prudent to get the larger ones checked by your doctor. Additionally, work on calming down your nerves because that can also be of help.

The pain in your lower abdomen, along with low hemoglobin and high ESR levels, along with decreased creatinine clearance and reduced UV-B irradiation exposure, can be associated with various health conditions. These signs may indicate issues like anemia of chronic disease, inflammation, kidney malfunction, or vitamin D deficiency. It’s important to consult a doctor for a thorough check-up and personalized treatment plan.
