Hi all,
I've been lurking for a few months and I'd like to thank everyone actively posting on this forum, offering knowledge and support to one another. HBV is a ******* and it's comforting to feel that I'm not alone in this.
I have a question relating to some odd symptoms I've been having. I was diagnosed HBsAg positive in April with the following serology:
HBsAg positive
HBsAb negative
HBeAg positive
HBeAb negative
Igm positive
Viral DNA 17log6
ALT 50 and trending incrementally downward on follow up.
Fibroscan 4.6
Mild fatty liver
I've had a bunch of mildly irritating but to-be-expected lower abdominal and urq symptoms since April. In the last 1.5-2 months I've had protracted periods of what feels like inflammation running from the right side of my stomach, up my right lung and to the right side of my throat. Referred discomfort down my right arm. I feel relief when I breath very deeply, consume cold liquids or push on a certain section of my lower abdomen.
I've searched extensively on this forum but cannot find such symptoms corresponding with hbv infection. The next availability for my HBV doctor is in September (at which point I'll beg TDF or ETV, which will hopefully resolve this), but in the meantime I was wondering whether anyone could shed some light on what's happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
