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.

I just got back my blood test results and Im a bit concerned. My SGOT level is at 50, SGPT is 83, and total bilirubin is 1.26. Could you give me some advice on how to lower my SGOT and SGPT levels? I'm really anxious to understand what these numbers mean and how I can improve them.

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help lower these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you can take Silymarin. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce SGOT and SGPT levels. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and exercise regularly to support liver health.
