Cause For The HCG Levels In The Blood?
Last week I was taken to the ER because of severe vertigo, nausea and headache. During the evaluation a blood test was administered. The test came back positive for the HCG hormone. An OBGYN was consulted and was given the okay to administer Phenegren. After an MRI I was diagnosed with an inner ear virus. I am a 52 year old woman and have not had a regular period in 6 months, what could be the cause of the HCG levels in by blood?

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The reason for the vertigo is nausea, and head ache may be due to the infection of the internal ear, and confirmed by the C.T. scan.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good health and resistance.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment of vertigo.
Regarding the HCG positive in a women of 52 years may be due to the Gestational trophoblastic disease.
It is a term used for a group of pregnancy-related tumours. These tumours are rare, and they appear when cells in the womb start to proliferate uncontrollably.
I advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
