What Do My Lab Test Results Indicate?

default
Posted on Tue, 17 May 2016
Question: For the past 4 months I have had an extended upper abdomen, and generalised itching, which has steadily worsened. and is now severe. I am a little windy but nothing significant. I have flushing., particularly around the face but feel hot all over. I have had ultrasound on liver, kidneys, and both are ok, except for cysts, which I believe are normal. I occasionally have dull abdominal ache but wouldn't say it was significant. My bowel movements are erratic, loose then solid but regular. I had a stool test in recent months, and that was fine. I have ET, had a cva, hypertension. and dyslipidaemia. I stopped taking the statins due to poor publicity but have a replacement alternative that increases the COQ10 content, that is the only variable change, nothing altered in diet, no stress. I did get bitten by an insect in a wood several months ago. I have been on anti-histomines to no effect. I would be grateful for any advice, thank you very much. I am on Hydroxycarbomide, double aspirin, Lapozole, and three lots of BP tablets.


my recent blood results are 22.7.15 Haem 148g/l, platelets 384x10.., white cell count 7.5 x10 ... ferritin 45ug/l, then in 20.01.16 the counts went down Haemoglobin 138g/l platelets 384x10.. white count 6.4 x 10... haematinics normal. I am having another blood test in early May. I have has mouth ulcers on occasions due to hydroxyl, and intermittent nausea. My iron level was borderline, supposedly, in recent times, but this seems to be ok now ( I think)

Brief Answer:
Suggestive of side effects of CoQ supplements.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am, Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on healthcare magic.
I have gone through your history diligently and also the results of various lab tests done so far. You seem to have developed side effects due to CoQ supplements.
I advise you to stop taking CoQ supplements as it not only has produced its side effects but it is also likely to interfere with the actions of various medications including those for high BP.
I hope this will solve your problem.
Best wishes.
