Hello doctor I am Ravi age 25. I have a big problem with weight gain and even after following a weight gain diet and gym my weight remains constant at 52 kg. A few days ago I was drinking alcohol regularly and after that I developed pain below the chest, weight loss, loss of appetite, malaise, shortness of breath, depression, and ringworm on legs and hands. The doctor checked my blood report and chest X ray but was unable to diagnose. Please help me?

Ravi, based on your symptoms, we need to rule out, liver irritation due to alcohol, nutritional deficiency or infection. Weight gain can take time and may need a protein rich diet and supplements. Since your tests were inconclusive, further work up may be needed.

Sir, my recent LFT reports show bilirubin at 1.86, SGPT at 42, and SGOT at 45. I have done LFT tests three times over different weeks. While SGPT and SGOT levels have decreased (SGPT: 65 to 42, SGOT: 55 to 45), my bilirubin has increased from 1.2 to 1.86. I have been taking Udiliv 300 and Tocofol as prescribed by a gastroenterologist. What should I do next?

I have been experiencing regular abdominal pain on both sides. I got a blood test, and my results are as follows: SGOT: 60.9 U/L SGPT: 88.3 U/L Alkaline phosphatase: 179.6 U/L GGT: 187.7 U/L Should I be worried about these results? Do they indicate any serious condition?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a blood test scheduled for elevated ALT liver enzyme on the 9th. I cannot take pain medications. I have come down with a bad cold and am experiencing severe sinus pressure. Can I take Pseudoephedrine, Allegra D, or Mucinex D without affecting my blood test results?
