I'm experiencing these random single hiccups scattered throughout the daylike just one hiccup at a time but occurring maybe 10 or 15 times daily. They're quiet too. I've noticed them every day for the past three weeks. I know I have acid reflux and anxiety, but aside from that, I'm a healthy and active 23-year-old female. I'm really curious if having just one hiccup multiple times a day is considered persistent. Can you shed some light on this?

Single, random hiccups throughout the day arent typically classified as persistent hiccups, which usually last over 48 hours continuously. However, since theyve been ongoing daily for weeks, its worth discussing with a doctor, especially given your acid reflux and anxiety, as these could be contributing factors.

Question

I recently got my blood test results back, and it shows my SGOT is at 43 and SGPT is 85, which seems higher than normal. Should I be concerned about this? I've had an ultrasound on my abdomen too, and it says I have a Grade 1 fatty liver. I do drink alcohol about once a week. How serious is this situation? What steps should I take next?

Question

I'm a bit concerned after getting my ultrasound results which showed I have an enlarged spleen of 14.1 cm and a grade two fatty liver. For the past few days, I've also been experiencing fever and chills. Can you help me understand what might be causing my spleen to enlarge? Could this be related to my fatty liver condition?

Question

I'm really worried because I've had gastritis since 1998, but these past two weeks have been different. I've been feeling this nagging burning sensation in my upper chest that spreads to my upper back and sometimes even to my arms. It gets worse when I'm lying down in bed, making it quite uncomfortable. I've tried taking some antacid tablets and they worked a bit, but the pain is still pretty intense and annoying. Could this be something more serious, or is there something else you'd recommend I do to get this under control?
