First note that DNA is an abbreviation and not an acronym since we read it as letters like "D" , "N", "A". So DNA is not a sounding word itself. And it stands for "Deoxyribonucleic Acid".

Secondly , the biological definition of DNA is:

"It is longest macromolecule and the main part of chromosomes that transfers the genetic characteristics in life form".

• First, the fact that you are having nosebleeds may not be a very good indication to begin with. Nosebleeds are often caused due to damaged mucus membranes. The problem with having your mucus membranes damaged is that there is a possibility that you can develop nasal polyps. This is not a nice condition, as nasal polyps are growths inside your nose that can cause a lot of pain and, in the more severe cases, even change the shape of your face in that nasal area.

  The blood clots simply mean that your blood is drying within the nasal passage or even in the sinus cavity.

• I would like to know the answer to this question also. I had a very large blood clot that I pulled from my left nostril. Only one nostril was bleeding and stopped soon after.
• My kids have the same problem. I don't see any answers posted, but this must be fairly common if there are multiple posts.
• When your nose bleeds, the blood clotting is what eventually stops the bleeding. I am not a doctor, but it seems logical that you would see blood clots if you didn't allow the clot to stabilize and harden before blowing/picking your nose.
  • your right the blood clots are just the blood stopping the flow it is ok to see them but if you do see them stop blowing or it wont clot and it will keep bleeding
• This can be caused by the blood congealing in your nasal carriageway and coming out in clots. But see your doctor if you are concerned.

White blood cell count (WBC). The number of white blood cells in a volume of blood. Normal range varies slightly between laboratories but is generally between 4,300 and 10,800 cells per cubic millimeter (cmm). This can also be referred to as the leukocyte count and can be expressed in international units as 4.3 - 10.8 x 109 cells per liter.

Yes, low hemoglobin can cause muscle pain. Hemoglobin is a protein and is attached to red blood cells. Its job is to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Without oxygen the tissues (including muscle) experience ischemia which is painful. Ischemia is what causes the pain a person has when they have a heart attack, for instance. So if a person's red blood cells are not carrying oxygen (because their hemoglobin levels are low enough), they would have muscle pain.

It would be helpful to know what the units of measure are. In hematology, the reference range for a WBC is 4,500-11,000/mm3 ; however, the count is usually reported out in SI units ( for example, 4.5 x 109 /L) or Conventional Units (4.5 x 103/uL). So, on a lab report, a range of 4.5-11.0 is the normal range using these units of measure.

If your report is using the standard units of measure, then a WBC of 314 is considered a "panic value". Extremely high. This could be due to several different processes, such as leukemias, severe infections (though this is still high even for a severe infection), and a handful of other conditions. Only your physician, taking all results and factors into consideration, can tell you where the problem lies.

Deficient blood supply to the myocardium is: ischemia

Ischemia is the medical terms for deficient blood supply to the myocardium. The suffix -emia denotes a blood condition; ischem/o means to hold back. With occlusion from atherosclerosis, the blood flow is restricted, resulting in deficient blood supply.

This is a normal blood pressure if you are very athletic and/or are younger than 20. 98 is considered a normal systolic number, while a diastolic number of 50 is pretty low. This was my blood pressure yesterday and I did some research on it. http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/medicine/blood-pressure.htm has a really good chart about ranges of blood pressure

When blood cells have oxygen they are red, when they have no oxygen they are a darker shade of red. The more haemoglobin the blood contains the more oxygen is going to attach to the iron which is the most important element of the haemo-globin.

Drinking more water will thin the blood to a degree. If you feel there is a real problem, you should head in and get a quick test from your doctor.

If there is a serious issue with the "thickness" of the blood, there are several things your doctor can do for you. One common measure taken is to put the patient on blood thinners. These are administered through close medical supervision. They can be in pill or IV form depending on he seriousness of the problem.

The normal white blood count for the general population is around 7-8. So 11.3 is slightly high but not by much. You should go to your doctor and see what your baseline is. You MIGHT be one of those people who have a slighlt high count but it's normal for you. If you are worried you can ask your doctor to see a hematologist. Also if you have been taking meds, certainones like steriods can raise your count.
