Can you help me understand the results of my fecalysis? The color's dark brown and the consistency is mushy. There's a note about microscopic pus cells at 02 HPF and red cells at 01 HPF, but it says no parasites or ova. It mentions many bacteria too. I'm wondering if everything looks normal to you.

The reports of your fecal analysis are predominantly normal, with no presence of parasites or ova. There is however an increased bacterial count in your report, which may be indicative of an infection, depending on your symptoms.

View allI'm really worried because I've just been diagnosed with a grade 2 fatty liver and my sgpt is at 70.05. I've started feeling a dull abdominal pain, and even though I've cut out oily junk food and now walk about 3-4 kms daily, I'm struggling to get a good night's sleep, probably because of stress. Lately, I've noticed that after eating cabbage sabji for dinner, I can smell cabbage in my stool the next day. Could this mean something, or am I just overthinking it? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Its great that youve made positive changes like walking and avoiding oily foods. Fatty liver can cause mild discomfort, and stress might be affecting your sleep. The cabbage smell in your stool is likely due to digestion, which is normal, but if the pain persists or worsens, I recommend consulting your doctor for further guidance. Managing stress and improving sleep quality can also help with your overall health.

I've been dealing with anxiety and these really troublesome gastric issues. Sometimes after lunch, if I'm out in the sun and either walk about a kilometer or climb some stairs, my heart rate just shoots up and my blood pressure feels high. But it usually calms down after about 15 minutes. I'm wondering if there's a link between the lunch and these heart rate spikes when I'm active like this. Could it really be connected to my gastric problems?
It is possible that your gastric issues and anxiety are contributing to your high heart rate and high blood pressure during physical activity. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Pantoprazole (40mg) for your gastric issues and Escitalopram (10mg) for anxiety. Additionally, you can take Propranolol (20mg) before physical activity to help lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medications.

I'm having this issue where after I eat, it feels like food gets stuck in my throat or the back of my tongue. Sometimes, it even feels like it's stuck near my palate, and it gets really uncomfortable after every meal. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's starting to worry me. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on here or what I should do about it?
This sensation could be due to a condition called dysphagia, which can be caused by various factors such as esophageal strictures, muscle disorders, or nerve damage. I recommend you try taking smaller bites, chewing your food thoroughly, and eating slowly to see if it helps. Additionally, you can try using a prescription medication like Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
