Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been having tight chest feeling and at times shock like pain dashing up my chest area, shoulder or back. My x-ray and ECG scans came out normal. I have also started losing hair, appetite and have had recurring mouth ulcers for years now. I recently started urinating more frequently now and my energy levels are always low.
I had bloody sputums back in 2019 (way before covid) nurse said I had pneumonia and was given an injection for three consecutive days. In late 2022, I started feeling chest pains and tightness again and the doctor said I had pneumonia so was on antibiotics and nebuliser sessions for three days. I had Augmentin medication for the same complaint. The laboratory tests undergone was HIV, TPHA, VDRL, Hep B, FBC, and UECV.
My blood test results were normal except for a few abnormalities: bicarbonate was low at 20, the calculated anion gap was high at 58, the calculated urea/creatinine ratio was low at 60, eGFR was slightly low at 81, MCH was low at 24, and MCHC was also low. Could you help me understand what these results might indicate?
Kindly interpret accordingly.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Do not worry. It appears to be a musculoskeletal issue. This may be due to poor sitting posture, improper sleeping posture, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, or deficiencies of vitamins and minerals.
Do not rely only on medications. Drink plenty of water daily. Include dates, beetroot, jaggery, and green leafy vegetables in your regular diet. Practice yoga and pranayama regularly, and go for daily walks.
Take Tab Revital Women (Multivitamins, Calcium, Zinc, and Natural Ginseng), one tablet daily for 12 weeks.
You may take one pinch of soda (sodium bicarbonate) mixed in 200 ml of water twice daily for 6 weeks.
Please follow up with me after 6 weeks.
Kindly consult a physician, discuss with them, and start taking the medications with their consent.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and take care.
Regards.
