Can having a positive H. pylori rut test result be linked to the shortness of breath I've been experiencing for the last 7 months? I'm just a bit concerned about what's causing it and wondering if there's any connection.

A positive H. pylori test indicates an infection affecting the stomach, not typically linked to shortness of breath.
Key Points:
- H. pylori Symptoms: Include stomach pain, nausea, and bloating, not respiratory issues.
- Shortness of Breath Causes: Often related to heart, lung, or anemia problems.
- Evaluation Needed: Persistent breathlessness requires a healthcare provider's assessment.
- Indirect Links: Rarely, severe anemia from H. pylori ulcers might cause breathlessness.
Treatment for H. pylori is crucial, but consult a doctor to explore other causes of your breathing difficulty.

I'm really stressed about my liver enzyme levels; my SGPT is at 274 and SGOT is 290. I did see an ayurvedic doctor and have been on some herbal medication. I've also been cycling 8 km daily and cut out oily and fatty foods for the past couple of weeks, but instead of getting better, my enzyme levels went up! A month ago, my SGPT was 290 and SGOT was 169. I'm worried because Ive got a job abroad and these high levels are causing issues with my medical tests. Could you suggest any treatment or medication I should consider to bring these levels down quickly? I really need guidance on what I should do next.
