Hi, I can understand your concern. Presence of pregnancy symptoms along with bleeding & +ve pregnancy test can be explained in two ways. - Either you are pregnant, with bleeding due to- -Implantation bleeding, - hormonal deficiency. * Blood HCG testing/ ultrasonography of lower abdomen can throw some light on the position- consult a gynecologist for specific treatment in case result is positive.You may be given pyridoxin tabs/antiemetics/ Progestreron supplement & bed rest till the symptoms subside. - Or, you are not pregnant, the symptoms are due to Gastritis & you have normal menstrual period. Pregnancy test can be false positive with contamination of urine/container. * in this case, you can take antacids/ranitidine/ bland diet to control the symptoms. Thanks.
