I've got some test results that I'm a bit worried about. My SGPT levels are sitting at 106, and my SGOT is 38. The direct bilirubin came back at 0.34. I'm wondering if these numbers mean I should get tested for jaundice or something else. Also, are there any ways I can bring these elevated levels down?

Question

I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Question

I'm dealing with loose motions right now and it's really tough to keep eating the same things like khichdi, daliya, and poha every meal. I also can't have curd rice because I've got a cough. Could you recommend any other foods that would be suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Question

I've been having some pain that's really bothering me, and I can't figure out if it's something serious. I'm 33, female, about 165 cm tall, and weigh 64 kg. Recently, I've been dealing with chest and upper back pain. It's weird because I feel really sharp pain when I lie down, but when I'm sitting up straight or walking, I don't notice it at all. It almost feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and when I swallow my saliva, the pain shoots to the center of my chest and then over to the right side and into my upper back. I also end up burping a lot and have the urge to pass stools when this pain kicks in. If I pay close attention, it seems like the pain starts on my back's right side and radiates to my chest. Is this something related to my heart?
