Any reason the dr that did my colonoscopy and endoscopy would check my d-dimer immediately after waking up in recovery? Nothing abnormal happened during scopes with anesthesia (no slowed breathing, no low blood pressure etc.) I’m just confused. Will be calling when office opens. D-dimer did come back normal. I was able to speak with a nurse that was present in the room during my scopes. She pulled up my file and dr didn’t write anything about d-dimer in notes.

28F, 115Ibs, I take otc vitamin D. In 2022, at 24 weeks pregnant, I developed pneumonia. I went to the er with terrible lung pain/high fever. Couldn’t breath or move like normal because of the pain of my lungs being on fire. The ER dr thought I had a blood clot in my lung. My d-dimer was elevated but I was told that can happen during pregnancy. After a CT, the infection in my lungs was confirmed, but also in my report it said I have right axillary and chest wall venous collaterals likely due to stenosis of right subclavian/axillary vein. This was news to me. I’ve never had a clot. I’ve never had discoloration or swelling of my arm. I asked them what I need to do about this and they said nothing if you’ve never clotted. Basically explaining that these collaterals have allowed my blood to reroute and that it’s fine, til it’s not. I went home and completed my antibiotics for my infection and carried on with life. Had my baby successfully, my son started school. Life just kept rolling and the vein situation wasn’t a true priority for me. Still to this day, I’ve had no clot or anything unusual with my arm. Has anyone seen this without ever clotting? In my CT report it said “likely due to” so no confirmation. I scheduled with my local vascular institute for Monday. But now that I’ve been thinking of this, I swear I’m feeling chest pain on my right side.

28 F , 5’5 , 120 pound , no smoker. I take otc vitamin d and just recently stopped mirtazapine and buspirone for anxiety and depression. I went to the er with abdominal pain to the point I couldn’t eat without gagging. A constant feeling of fullness with no food and noises from the gut. No appetite whatsoever. This has lasted a week. I was given a bag of fluids and soon after rolled off to a ct with contrast,

<br/>FINDINGS: Lung bases are clear. Mild intrahepatic periportal low-density <br/>could reflect very mild edema.
The gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, adrenals, <br/>kidneys, urinary bladder unremarkable. Retroflexed uterus. Trace pelvic free <br/>fluid presumed physiologic. Bowel unremarkable with normal appendix. No
<br/>adenopathy<br/><br/IMPRESSION: Nonspecific mild findings in the liver could reflect a mild <br/>hepatitis, correlate lab. Otherwise negative study

To add.. my bloodwork came back totally fine. Even my liver enzymes. All normal. Any ideas about periportal low-density? I was given a bag of fluids before my ct.

28 female, 5’5”, 120 pounds , non smoker, I take buspirone and mirtazapine for anxiety and depression. I’m slowly weaning off of those because I don’t like how they make me feel. My medical issues are anxiety and depression. For a week I have felt overly full without eating much at all. I’m doing my best to stay hydrated. I just have this fullness/gassy feeling in my gut to point that I have focus not to throw up after eating very little. No appetite. I visited er. They did bloodwork and an abdominal ct on me with contrast. I would like to add that all of my bloodwork came back normal, liver enzymes included. All normal. I guess what my question is what could reflect this? Here’s my report:

<br/>FINDINGS: Lung bases are clear. Mild intrahepatic periportal low-density <br/>could reflect very mild edema.
