Very unlikely: Up until october of 2013 there have only been 7 cases of hypoglycemia reported to the fda regarding Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) out of hundreds of thousands of prescriptions that have been written. Also, 64 is not technically low blood sugar.It must be below 50, and some specialists would use 40 aat a hypoglycemic cut-off.

Got my blood test result. Amylase 96 (n: 28-100) Lipase 44 (n: 13-60). Having upper left abdomen and mid back pain for weeks.. Had an ultrasound last week but it says everything is normal. Is there something I should be worried about? Pancreatitis?

Ive had left flank pain and severe nausea, vomiting. All bloods normal except one of the enzymes is elevated associated with pancreatitis. What does it mean if only 1 of the two enzymes is elevated? Its either lipase or amylase that is elevated?
If I vape and I have pancreatitis am I risking a flare up or no? No pain from pancreatitis just blood work had high lipase and amylase and liver enzymes but was due to an infection?
If I had acute pancreatitis without pain (just high blood levels of lipase and amylase) due to gastroenteritis and COVID, do I have to worry about recurrent acute pancreatitis or chronic pancreatitis or no because my bout was caused by an infection?
Can you have pancreatitis with normal blood test levels? Or will lipase and amylase be elevated? How would it be diagnosed?
Ive had pancreatic enzymes checked a few times over the years. Lipase has never been elevated but amylase fluctuates. Ive had it as high as 300. Ive also had it just above the range and normal as well. Never pancreatitis. Could be cancer ???
