Abnormal urine test results - panic

[uk23]

Thanks Nicola, she is with me but also anxious about it - I have tried some breathing exercises but the anxiety keeps going around in my head.

This is because you are worried of course.

It could be something or nothing but we cannot speculate.

Just wait until you see doc and then you will know. There is no point worrying over something that could be nothing.

Get your fiancee to give you a nice massage Piers - will relax you

I'm sure it's nothing sinister mate.

Piers, small amounts of bilirubin in the urine are common. It's when it shows up as high that you would possible have a condition, like jaundice. Your skin would be yellow, the whites of your eyes yellowish. I test my urine with the same strips and always have a trace of this or that and there is no problem. Please try to not worry. Let us know what the dr. says, ok?

Its not a problem until its a problem. If that make sense. I have found anticipation one of the worse types of anxiety. Our mind goes hundred miles an hour.

The doc will probably say its within normal levels and you will wonder what all the fuss was about.

I hope so and thank you all for the replies, I really appreciate them.

yeah try not to panic buddy, liver disease would show more symptoms. Maybe think about why aren't you eating enough? Once it's sorted out, and I am sure it will be, maybe sort the food out?

Diet's really important and as my sister pointed out to me today, a poor diet will also make anxiety and depression worse as it lowers seratonin (feel good chemicals)
