Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
I have gone through your description. Your urine test shows you have an urine infection. This is because you have some pus cells and red blood cells in your urine. Since you have red blood cells in your urine there is a possibility that you have kidney or urinary bladder stones leading to urine infection. That's why your doctor has ordered an USG KUB.
since you have ulcers, that is the reason for bloating of your upper abdomen. You need to be started on antacids, and also be evaluated by endoscopy to see the severity of ulcers. They may bleed and an cause a drop in hemoglobin.
SO as of now there is no severe sickness. But you being 55, with high cholesterol, stomach ulcers and possible urine infection, You must take care of your health.
Wishing you good health
Regards
