Question 1

why does my gas and poop smell so bad after eating beef ? could it be high bilirubin levels ?  see blood test in my health files if needed.

Accepted Answer

Likely nitrates.: A great many high protein foods like meat have a high concentration of nitrates, which lead to foul smelling stool.  Bilirubin is largely responsible for the color of stool as well as some of the smell.

Question 2

what does high venous blood gas mean?

Accepted Answer

Venous blood gas: Blood gas results are taken on arterial blood only. If the technician did not get an arterial sample while attempting to get a blood gas, the results are meaningless. A repeat blood gas will need to be reordered.

Question 3

hi my husband has last stage copd recently had a blood gas test done his hemoglobin is high also his carboxhemoglobin is at 6 is this vary bad .

Accepted Answer

Typical for a smoker: If your husband is still smoking then, this is to be expected. The high hemoglobin is also due to his history of smoking and his copd. I hope this helps.

Question 4

is stomach gas cause high blood pressure ?

Accepted Answer

Gas: stomach gas does not cause high blood pressure although if pain is enough it could on occasions cause a high reading

Question 5

can high o2 affinity hemoglobin cause arterial blood gas values of high o2?

Accepted Answer

Less O2 delivery: High o2 affinity HGB  (leftward shift in o2 saturation curve) means it requires a higher partial pressure of o2 to achieve the same o2 saturation.  The HGB is more tightly  bound to o2 and less is delivered to the tissues.  More o2 will be necessary to adequately deliver oxygen to the tissues.

Question 6

how abdominal gas leads to high blood pressure? after having food.

Accepted Answer

Probably not related: Pain, anxiety, fear, physical activity (both aerobic and anaerobic) and other factors can increase BP. Passing gas without pain or other symptoms is unlikey to have much effect on BP.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

If : If you feel fatigue, which is what i assume you meant by your statement, then this calls for investigation. Your blood pressure may actually be too low. Do you have a blood pressure monitor? I would start there. If you don't you should follow up with your doctor to investigate why you are feeling this way.
All the best.

Question 8

my father is 60 yr old and he is have gas burps every 2 min. his blood pressure is 153/83. what can the root cause of high bp ?

Accepted Answer

Essential HTN: His "gas burps " are most likely from gerd - gastroesophagela reflucx disease. But his high BP is essential hypertension.

Question 9

arterial blood gas showed my po2 was high at 103. how is this possible? i'm not on oxygen therapy or anything like that. i was breathing normally.

Accepted Answer

High PO2 level: It is important to know the rest of the blood gas test results. pH? pCO2? Bicarbonate? Your doctor can put it all in perspective for you. What was the O2 sat? If low, it might point to a methemoglobinemia, perhaps from some meds you take. Best to discuss the entire blood gas study with your provider. Normal PO2 shouldn't be above 102. .

Question 10
