I'm a bit concerned because my recent blood tests showed that my SGOT level is 60 and my SGPT is 52. Both are higher than normal. Can you suggest some ways to bring these levels down?

Question

So, I recently found out I have gallbladder stones and I'm going to have laparoscopic surgery soon. As part of the prep, they did some tests and my ECG came back showing Sinus Arrhythmia. I'm a bit worried and wondering if that's something I should be concerned about. Do you think my ECG is normal, or could there be an issue there? Also, if there is a problem, would it affect my upcoming surgery? I've also been dealing with some symptoms that might be related, like really bad acidity for the past four months, frequent burps and hiccups, feeling nauseous, and pretty intense acid reflux. It's like a liquid moves up my food pipe to my throat and causes pressure in my chest and around my food pipe. Also, I often feel short of breath during the day, but it seems to get better when I lie down. Do you think this shortness of breath is because of the gallbladder or could it be a cardio issue linked to the ECG results?

Question

Can we use Udiliv 300 over a long period to manage altered liver enzymes? My SGOT is around 50 and SGPT is 60. I'm curious if this medication is safe for long-term use to keep these enzyme levels under control.

Question

I'm dealing with recurring blood in my stool and was recently told by my general physician that I have a chronic anal fissure. I don't experience any pain, but the sight of blood is making me really anxious. Is this something normal with a chronic fissure, or should I be more concerned? What steps should I take next?
