Chronic Hepatitis b symptoms
Hi, I'm a 43 year old man; I was first diagnosed with HBV in April 2015. And I still have the virus in my body, hence I'm a chronic carrier. I also have problem with my kidneys, because doctors found protein and blood in my urine more than ten years ago, and I still have these problems with my kidneys. I guess I've something called glomerulonephritis, but I'm not sure about the severity. Two weeks ago I had a 24 hour blood pressure measurement; I've not yet recieved the answer from my doctor but I could see the majority of the readings were more than 150 (top number), and more than 90 (bottom number).
My symptoms are: tiredness, aches and stiffness from neck to toes; espesially I've more aches on the back of my lower legs. I've shivering of hands and legs, I'm quite depressed and anxious; problem sleeping at night; very hot and uncomfortable feeling mainly on soles, but also on hands to some degree, especialy during the night. This makes sleeping difficult, and of less quality. I aslo have frequent need to urinate, particularly during the night, cutting my sleep. I also have bad appetite, and I do not want to eat, but I force myself to eat, because I know once inside, the food would help me. I often have problem with gas in stomach, and I take very long time in the toilet; I've had this problem since I was young. I've also had bad breath since childhood, and this has severely damaged my self-confidence, causing me to isolate myself, and develop social phobia. Another symptom is my joints contantly make a popping sound; particularly my knee-joints, ankle joints, shoulder, hands, and hip-joints. Sometimes I get mild pain when the joints pop. I also have frequent bleeding of nose, that doesn't stop quickly.
And here is my lab-tests:
HbeAg negative
HbsAg positive, I do not yet know quantity
AbsAb negative
Anti Hbe positive
Hbv Dna 1100 IU/ml, using real time PCR
Vit D 82, the ref. given is 50-200
Fibroscan Normal, it was about 5 Kpa if I remember well, taken in September 2015
S-ASAT 24, reference given was <45
S-ALAT 34, reference given was <70
S-GGT 29, ref. was 68
Inr-value 1,2
B-HB 13,8 ref 13,4-17
B-Trombo 129, ref 145-348, etc.
I've not yet started with any medication, neither with HBV, nor with the kidney problem.
My question is there anyone here with similar symptoms and tests like me; i wonder what is causing the symptoms I mentioned, my HBV infection seems to be mild one; could it be the kidney problem that is causing the symptoms I mentioned? Are the syptoms I mentioned normal for people with similar HBV status as that of mine?
Sorry for my long post; but I would appreciate any feedback, Thanks.
