Question

I'm a bit worried about my recent sgpt level coming out to be 74, even though my liver ultrasound is normal. In the past, I was told that my sgpt and sgpt levels were really high due to antituberculosis medicine causing liver issues. My Att was stopped on March 1st, and back then my sgpt level was 215. Can you help me understand why my sgpt level is still climbing? I'm not a drinker, and my weight is 80 kg, height is 6 feet, and my blood pressure is 116 over 82.

Question

Is it okay to exercise if I have a painful anal fissure? I found that working out helps relieve the pain a bit, but I'm worried about making the tear worse or experiencing more pain. Should I keep working out, or is it safer to stop until it heals?

Question

I'm really concerned about this constant feeling of something pulling in the middle of my stomach between my ribs, and it's paired with heavy breathing. It's been happening for about three months now. I've had tests like Troponin, Stress Echo, X-ray of my chest and lungs, and an ultrasound, and everything came back normal. I've consulted a cardiologist, pulmonologist, and radiologist, but nothing seems to help. A bit of my background: Ive been taking Tolol XR25 for high blood pressure for a few years now and tried gastritis medicine like PanD for the past month, as suggested by my doctor, but it didnt work. My blood and urine tests are mostly normal except for a few things my Bilirubin is 1.99 mgdL, Vitamin D is 55 nmolL, Vitamin B12 is 177 pgmL, Apo A1 is 95 mgdL, and Apo B is 37 mgdL. Sometimes my hands shake, and I feel really lethargic all day, with heavy, labored breathing. I'm constantly aware of my stomach because of this. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
