I'm feeling pretty nervous lately, and I'm not sure why. About a week ago, I went to a gastro specialist because I was really bloated. I noticed the bloating happens whenever I have dairy products, which is still an issue now. I've attached my blood test results, and they show that my LDL and NON-HDL levels are high. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take?

From your blood test results showing high LDL and NON HDL levels, along with your symptoms of bloating and nervousness, it is important to address your cholesterol levels and digestive issues. To lower your LDL and NON HDL levels, I recommend starting a medication called Atorvastatin. Additionally, since you are experiencing bloating with dairy products, you can try taking a lactase enzyme supplement like Lactaid before consuming dairy to help with digestion. It is also advisable to follow a low-cholesterol diet and engage in regular physical activity to improve your overall health. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.

View allI'm dealing with diarrhea since this morning and already took a Norflox tablet. For food, I'm sticking to bananas and boiled rice, and I'm hydrating with ORS. Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?
Swallowing a bone can be uncomfortable. _Possible scenarios:_ 1. _Bone stuck in throat_: The bone might be lodged in your throat, causing pain while eating. 2. _Bone in esophagus or stomach_: The bone may have passed into your esophagus or stomach, causing discomfort or pain. _What to do:_ 1. _Stay calm_: Try to remain calm and avoid panicking. 2. _Drink water_: Drink plenty of water to help the bone pass through your system. 3. _Eat soft foods_: Opt for soft, easy-to-swallow foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, or mashed bananas. 4. _Avoid solid foods_: Refrain from eating solid foods, especially those that may scratch or irritate your throat or esophagus. _When to seek medical attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or difficulty swallowing. 2. _Vomiting blood_: If you vomit blood or see blood in your stool. 3. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. 4. _No improvement_: If your symptoms persist or worsen over time. If you're unsure or concerned, consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.

I've been noticing dark blood in my stools over the past week, and I used to have some gastric problems before. I'm really worried about what's causing this. What could be going on, and what's the best care I can take for this? Can anyone help me understand this better?

I'm really worried about my friend who's been on TB meds for about 20 days now. Suddenly, he started having nonstop vomiting, can't eat or drink, and is super dehydrated. The doctor suggested stopping his TB pills for a week. They're giving him Taxim injections for the next 5 to 6 days along with some other injections. Do you think this break in TB treatment is something we should be concerned about?
Yes, it is the side-effects of anti-tubercular therapy. Pls continue inj taxim for 5 days.Post antibiotic course ATT can be started .
