I'm curious about something I've been feeling recently. Whenever I drink water, I can actually feel it moving down through my chest, and there's this cool sensation that accompanies it. Swallowing isn't an issue, but I wanted to know if what I'm experiencing is normal. Can you help me understand this?

I'm experiencing vomiting every 34 days when I brush my teeth. This has been happening for about 34 weeks now. At first, the vomit was yellow, and I assumed it might be related to a bile digestion issue, so I didn't see a doctor. However, more recently, it's been coming out white with a really strong sour taste. Is this something common with bile problems, or could it be something else?

I've just found out that my SGOTSGPT ratio is 2.3, and I read that it should be somewhere between 0.7 and 1.4. I'm really concerned about what this means for my health. Can you tell me what kind of treatment I might need? Are there specific foods I should steer clear of, and should I stop drinking alcohol entirely? How serious is this ratio for my liver? Also, I've got a vitamin D level of 14.21 ngml. Is that something to worry about?

A high SGOTSGPT ratio can indicate liver damage. To help lower your ratio and support your liver health, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you should avoid fatty and fried foods, processed foods, and excessive sugar intake. It is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption as it can further damage the liver. With a ratio of 2.3, it is concerning and indicates potential liver issues that need to be addressed. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Your low vitamin D level of 14.21ngml also needs attention, and you can take Vitamin D3 supplements 1000 IU daily to improve your levels.

So I've been dealing with high SGPT and SGOT levels ever since I had jaundice about four months ago. They're still about 1.5 times the normal limit, and while my doctor mentioned they'll get better on their own, I'm a bit worried. I've got a pre-employment medical test coming up, and I'm wondering if this will be a problem. I don't drink or smoke, but I do cycle three times a week for half an hour and practice pranayama. Should I be concerned about my exercise routine affecting my liver enzyme levels?

Cycling and pranayama are generally beneficial for overall health. You do not need to stop exercising unless specifically advised by your doctor. However, it may be helpful to avoid intense or strenuous exercise that could potentially strain your liver. If you are looking to further support your liver health, you may consider taking a liver-protective medication like Liv.52, which contains natural ingredients that help improve liver function. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also aid in liver recovery.
