Brief Answer:
Please upload the reports

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Welcome back to HCM.

Your blood tests:

TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone to assess the thyroid function. This test is normal in you.

Anti Card IgG, Ig M, A, Beta 2 all are used for evaluation of a condition called anti phospholipid antibody syndrome. This is associated with frequent blood clots, abortions etc. These antibodies are negative or low in your case, suggesting less chance of disease

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank You For your Reply. I take a large amount of Anti Inflammatory can that affect the blood tests?

It won't affect

Detailed Answer:
IHi XXXXXXX

Welcome back.

Anti inflammatory drugs won't affect the blood tests that you have done. If you are on steroids there can be a decrease in TSH values and antibodies will also come down with time.
