Question

I'm really concerned right now. A couple of months ago, I had typhoid, but everything seemed fine afterward. I did an ultrasound and all my tests came back normal, so I went back to my usual diet. But recently, after a weekend of drinking more alcohol than usual, I experienced a hangover that felt really strange. I went to the hospital, and while most of my liver function test results were normal, my bilirubin levels were highBilirubin Total was 2.2, Direct was 0.9, and Indirect was 1.3. The ultrasound showed nothing abnormal, though. My doctor prescribed some ursodeoxycholic acid tablets and anti-reflux meds, and suggested we repeat the liver function test after 15 days. I'm pretty worried about this whole situation. Could this be linked to my past typhoid, or did the alcohol play a bigger role? What should I be keeping an eye on? This is stressing me out.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Deriphyllin R 300 for her condition, but now she's having some issues with her stomach. I'm wondering if switching her to Deriphyllin OD 300 might help. Could that make a difference, or should I be concerned about any side effects?

Question

Hey, so I've started noticing this strange thing where I can actually see my stomach pulsing, mostly when I'm lying down and my belly is flat, but not so much when I'm sitting. It's happening around my belly button area. I'm not really thin, with a height of 5'8" and a weight of 67kg. I also have PCOD, so there's some extra fat around my stomach because of that. Is this pulsing something I should be worried about, or could it be serious?

Question

I'm experiencing some weird stomach issues and I'm a bit concerned. I used to have a stomach ulcer, which is thankfully better now, but for the past few months, my stomach's been gurgling a lot. I also feel really full and get a ton of gas after eating. It's like I can actually feel the gas forming, and there's this constant growling sound in my stomach that only seems to go away when I have a full meal. It's at its worst when I'm hungry. On top of that, my stool has been green and soft most of the time. I used to take pantotab every morning for my ulcer, but I stopped because it was making me super drowsy. Any idea what's going on? I'm kinda worried.
