Yesterday I was admitted to the hospital by ambulance after I had passed out three times in the morning, soon after starting to sweat profusely and having tingling arms. I was in extreme abdominal pain, not pregnant, and only 19 (soon 20). My blood pressure was 107/57 before I left the hospital, and my blood sugar was 98 before haven even eating something.
The diagnosis after a long, long day at the hospital was a fluid filled cyst on my left ovary, not cancerous, and not necessary to immediately have it removed. It had ruptured a bit and some of the fluif had leaked, causing the pain. Treatment will be birth control (which I have had trouble with in the past hormonally) and constant checkups due to the information that my mother has, or atleast had endometriosis prior to having a severe hysterectomy last june.
Along with the results of my pain, I was given a complete list of numbers for things such as electrolytes, potassium, calcium, glucose, billirubin, and etc.
What I am curious about is my billirubin came back rather high (2.4) but my liver panel and functions were fine. I do not suffer from jaundice and for the last two months I have steered away from fattening foods, and have put in 18-20 hours of exercise since july 2nd.
My glucose was 98 prior to eating, and it was checked at about 7 in the morning.
Both of these numbers concern me, simply because what could be raising the billirubin? I do take a b complex 100 supplement for serotonin balance by directions of a doctor, and I take l-lysine supplement (about 1000-2000mg) to prevent coldsores of my lips (i get them severely, and coincidently I had no chicken pox antibodies -- a similar strand in the herpes simplex family). I am not very big on drinking milk, and I hadn't been eating much yogurt so the supplement seemed a good idea to keep my coldsores at bay. Could either of these supplements be raising my billirubin, even though they're supplements i'm taking that are necessary for the body but i'm not getting them in my diet?
As for the glucose, at 7am in the morning, a 98-glucose seems kind of odd to me. I was hungry the night before, but the last thing I had was a bowl of fruit at about 9pm. Could I be diabetic, or at risk for diabetes?
