Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. ANA test is Anti Nuclear Antibody Test, designed to determine whether or not antibodies are present that react to various parts of the nucleus of cells. Normally tested to find autoimmune diseases.

You had a nervous breakdown. I am not sure, why such a blood test was done for you. Any way be brave. Please attend a counseling session and meditation session, you shall know what to do. I am more than happy to help you through telephone for counseling and psychotherapy. You can contact me through customer care at www.healthcaremagic.com.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
