blood test results

[ClickBait]

hello I hope someone can help as I have no luck speaking with my GP about my test results.

i possibly don't have kidney problems but my GP wanted to do some tests to rule it out.

symptoms:

thirst. Excessive thirst especially when going to bed.

high urine output due to over consumption of water

dry mouth (recently noticed slight receding gums)

waking in the morning with bone pains especially my wrists

aching muscles and feeling of muscle weakness. going upstairs kills my quads

iritabiliy

low mood

heart palpitations.

I've had a lot of tests done. Results that I think are significant.

Hba1c normal

serum adjusted calcium conc low. 2.09mmol

serum 25 oh vit D low 48mol even though I take vit D supplements OTC

Serum osmolality 292(abnormal greater than 290)

can anyone talk to me in plain English what's going on.

i feel crap and have no answers

HI click,We do not diagnose, we are not doctors. The only thing I can recommend is to advocate for yourself and get the answers you need for the doctors you have.

Maybe change Doctor, or get a second opinion on your test results.

Ask your doctor to explain the results in plain English-things make sense to them and they sometimes forget we don't get it. Doc may still be in dx phase, still getting info. After he has finished all the tests, insist that he explain results clearly.

It's time for you to change your doctor. He/she is supposed to explain to you what are in the results, if they can't, they are not doing their job.

I agree with the others, if your doctor won't explain the results to you, then you need to find a new doctor who will. My PCP has me come in 3 to 4 days prior to my appointment with her so that she has the test results before the appointment. My hubby's PCP will take blood the day of his appointment and then set up a phone appointment to go over the results. Both ways work. Looking at what you posted, you should talk to your doc about the levels that are not in normal range, plus I always ask about the things that are barely in normal ranges (either low or high) just so that I know what is happening. Luckily I have a great PCP who does answer questions and after years of being under her care she anticipates most of my questions before I ask. (I live in fear of when she decides to retire.)

My PCP was the same way, so I walked in without an appointment and asked for the printed report on my blood test. I took that report with me to my next specialist appointment with my pulmonologist. He has helped me more than I ever thought possible! I will be changing my choice of PCP soon. I am 71 yo and refuse to be treated with this PCPs lack of respect.

BE CAREFUL WITH THE VITAMIN D! As it was the “miracle” to prevent COVID many healthy folks in the land of overindulgence (the good ole USA) caused themselves serious and unnecessary health problems due to over medicating. If prescribed than NEVERMIND…lol…best of luck!
