Brief Answer:
Not normal but not something to be too scared of right away!

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thank you so much for this query. I have reviewed your information fully. I believe these two events happen to occur together but in no way suggestive of a disease. It would most likely end up as a transient phenomenon and requires no immediate medical attention. Unless this gets to persist for longer periods or new symptoms set in, there is really no reason to get worried at this time.

In all, this is not normal but not suggestive of a disease. Monitor only at this time and report any further changes to me. This would resolve spontaneously and there is no need for special medical attention at this time for this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
