Brief Answer:
Normal MRI study
Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The flow void is signal alteration during various Mri sequences.
The flow void described is of blood flow as there motion leads to black or hypo signal on Mri sequence.
For gland tuberculosis you need to consult a physician.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Heaviness / Light headedness / Tightness / dull mild aches / numbness(at times) /instability continue in the head at times.
Drowsiness / Fainting
Please explain causes of puffiness in the face & also should i do my thyroid test.
Is it because of some water retention or improper blood circulation. From before my face has puffed up.
I am G6PD deficient
Every night during my sleep i get cramp numbness in my left palm / fingers.(since past 4-5 days)
Also on pressing both my legs some sort of current / cramp passes from it (since quite some months)
I am taking following medicines as follows for treatment of my glandular TB lymph nodes in the neck. -
R Cinex (450g) before breakfast
Orofer XT, Becousules capsule & Benadon (40g) after breakfast

My haemoglobin was 7.9 earlier but after taking orofer XT tablet twice a day, at present my latest CBC reflects haemoglobin as 11.2. So should i take one orofer XT tablet or should i continue taking two orofer tablets.
