hi my last period came on may 21, i had a pregnancy test and it was positive.. my hcg blood test was high 17980.. i would like to know what this means?

Question

My period was due on 3/26 and it arrived, but was light and lasted less than a day. Had blood test on 4/2 hCG <1. I have many pregnancy symptoms. What could be the cause?

Answer 1

See below: There are several possible reasons and this should be checked by your physician but you see this if the date is miscalculated and the pregancy is further along than calculated, also twins can cause and finally a molar pregnancy can cause this until you know i would not worrry about the latter -but would go see my physician and determine what tis the cause.

Answer 2

Not really: I would suspect if it's really low, systolic pressure less than 90 , that perhaps your being over medicated with something or are dehydrated.

Answer 3

Depends : Depends on how low, and if you are on blood pressure or heart medications. Most people are on some sort of medication following heart valve surgery. Check with your doctor to be sure.

Answer 4

Get moving!: Didn't get the whole question. You are at a great age to stop future problems. Being over weight and having a family history of diabetes definitely puts you at risk. Start getting into an exercise program and cut back on fried and fatty food. That should help get things back to normal.

Answer 5

Incomplete: Your question is incomplete , if you are overweight, diet and exercise is a good way to start a healthy lifestyle. Have your doctor check your thyroid and start monitoring your a1c. If the weight is so sudden , have your primary physician check for signs of pcos, really common in young woman.

Answer 6

Ice: Try to limit the pain killers. Usually an absolute max is 8/day. It depends on the drug and the strength. Cold packs for 15-20 minutes at a time can help. There are many different meds to try if the 1 you are using is not effective.

Answer 7

Question cut off.: You may use the med as prescribed - sounds like 2 pills every four hours. I suspect this was a narcotic med combined with acetaminophen. Be careful not to exceed 4000 mg of Acetaminophen daily. 650 mg of tylenol 6 times a day would generally be safe for short periods of time.

Answer 8

Need full evaluation: A person with hearing problems since age 5 years will have had evaluations by her pediatrician or primary care doctor, been referred to an audiologist for complete testing, and been seen by an ENT doctor to find out if there is any correctable disorder causing the hearing problems. If these things have not been done, she should write down her story and take it to her primary care doctor to start.

Answer 9

50-60% of childhood: hearing loss is genetic; 40-50% is environmental. Pendred Syndrome causes 5-10% of inherited hearing loss & also causes hypothyroidism. It's caused by inheriting a specific gene mutation on Chromosome 7 from each parent. Take all your hearing test results from birth till now to your doctor & request a Chromosomal Microarray & referral to an ear doctor & an audiologist for assessment & treatment.

Answer 10

Correct!: This early in pregnancy makes it difficult to discern whether it is a developing fetus in the egg sac or a "blighted ovum" of a possible miscarrriage. The "tincture of time" will tell the difference. Be patient as mother nature works on her own schedule.

Answer 11

Agree with Dr. I: You may get blood test for HCG level and repeat it in 2-3 days. In a healthy pregnancy HCG levels should double every 2 days or so.
