Question 1

I've been experiencing a really concerning issue whenever I eat. I get this severe pain in my chest, close to where my heart is, right after meals. It seems to get worse when I have spicy foods. Oddly enough, if I lie down immediately, the pain goes away. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question 2

I've been dealing with these mouth ulcers on my tongue for a while now. I've tried using Clogen lozenges and some weekly antifungal meds for the past three months, but they're just not going away. I've even seen a dentist, and they couldn't find anything wrong. They clear up, but then they're back after a few days. I've also been taking Vitamin B supplements. Plus, Ive been having some digestion issueslike I constantly need to go to the bathroom to clear my bowels. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I could try next?

Accepted Answer

I recommend trying a combination of medications to address the possible underlying causes. You can try using a mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine to reduce oral bacteria and promote healing. Additionally, taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole can help with your digestion issues and reduce stomach acid, which may be contributing to the mouth ulcers. For the mouth ulcers specifically, you can also use a topical corticosteroid like Triamcinolone acetonide dental paste to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results. My SGOT and SGPT levels are 21.3 and 9.20, which are in the normal range, but the ratio is 2.3. Is this something I should worry about? Everything else in the liver function test looks normal. Could you provide some insight into what this might mean?
