I received my blood test report. My cholesterol was high at 211, LDL was 153, HDL was 36, vitamin D was less than 10.5 (normal 75 to 110), and B12 was 320. I was given 60k vitamin D capsules weekly. After the third week, I started experiencing dizziness and discomfort on the right side of my abdomen. My liver and kidney panel were normal, but ALT was 71 (normal 30 to 65). My bowel movements are fine, but I have bloating most of the time, and my abdomen feels tight like a tyre, which is very uncomfortable. I am worried, but my physician said my liver and kidneys are fine and it may be just gas. He asked me to continue the vitamin D tablets and take an antacid in the morning. What should I do? Can I take magnesium supplements too, as I read that vitamin D requires magnesium? My right knee hurts a lot while coming down the stairs, and I also have muscle cramps. My major issue is lower abdomen bloating and dull pain below the lower ribs on the right side.

ALT is mildly raised, may be fatty liver. Vitamin D deficiency causes cramps. Yes, magnesium can help but monitor kidney function.

I have been experiencing upper left abdominal pain for the past 3 months. My test report shows fatty liver, and the pain has persisted for this duration.

I have been noticing a strong smell in my urine, latrine, and certain foods, especially fish and chicken for the past 2 months. I do not think this is psychological. I also have chronic digestion issues. I had blood tests a few months ago and kidney function was normal, but SGOT and SGPT levels were elevated. My fasting blood sugar was around 102 mg/dL, and my cholesterol was high at 240 mg/dL. My weight is 63 kg, height 5 ft 7 in, and I am 24 years old.

I have been experiencing stomach pain for the past year. It feels like something is moving around on the right side of my stomach. I consulted a doctor who said it is a digestion problem, and I also had lab tests done, which showed nothing abnormal. What should I do next?
