I'm a bit concerned about my recent health check-up results. My SGPTALT came back at 46, which seems to be above the normal range, and my lipid profile is on the higher side too. Do you think I should be worried about this and possibly start some medication? Also, I'm curious about the role of eosinophils in the body. Could you give me some insight into what they do? I've attached the report for your reference.

Your SGPTALT level of 46 is slightly elevated, which could indicate mild liver stress or inflammation. Given the high lipid profile, it's important to focus on lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and regular exercise to manage your cholesterol. Medication may be considered if lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in immune responses, especially in allergic reactions and combating parasitic infections. It would be best to discuss your results with your doctor for a personalized plan.

View allI've been dealing with some really bad-smelling burps since around 5 pm on 41317, and it's embarrassing how they clear the area. Plus, my mouth has this nasty taste. My stomach feels like it's full of gas even though I'm farting. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing excessive gas and foul-smelling burps. This could be due to various reasons such as indigestion, gastritis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (500mg) to help with the gas and indigestion. Additionally, you can try simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been struggling for years with not having a daily bowel movement. It's every two days at best, and when it happens, it's really hard. Why is this happening and what can I do to have more regular and easier motions?
It sounds like you may be experiencing constipation. I recommend trying a stool softener like Colace or a laxative such as Miralax to help with your bowel movements. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated can also help alleviate constipation.
