The other night I got pretty drunk and ended up throwing up, but it was this weird black, like coffee ground color vomit. I actually felt okay when I woke up the next morning though. Is this something I should be worried about?

The black ground coffee color vomit you experienced could be due to the presence of blood in your vomit. This can be a sign of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. I recommend you to take Pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. If the symptom persists, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Question

I've just had a liver function test done and noticed that my SGPT level is at 81, which I understand is higher than the usual range. I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this and if it means I need to start taking any medication. Could this possibly be related to my weight, or might something else be causing it?

Question

I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.

Question

I'm really worried about my husband's recent LFT results. His SGPT is 119 and SGOT is 86, and his bilirubin total is 0.97. He used to drink alcohol but has stopped now. What could these values indicate? Should we be concerned?
