Question 1

I'm recovering from jaundice and I've been really strict with my diet for the past month. But I'm still getting mild fevers at night and that nauseous feeling keeps coming back. My test results seem normal with bilirubin at 0.7, SGOT at 90, and SGPT at 65. I'm currently taking Liv 52, Ulsys 300, and Nirocil syrup. Could you help me understand why I'm still feeling this way?

Palpitations with Normal Rhythm and Pulse_

1. _Generally not a concern_: If your rhythm and pulse are normal, palpitations might not indicate a serious underlying condition.
2. _Common triggers_: Exercise, stress, anxiety, caffeine, and dehydration can trigger palpitations.
3. _Post-exercise palpitations_: It's not uncommon to experience palpitations after exercise, especially if you're new to physical activity or have pushed yourself harder than usual.

_Monitor and Take Precautions_

1. _Keep track of palpitations_: Note when palpitations occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers.
2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water, especially during and after exercise.
3. _Manage stress and anxiety_: Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
4. _Limit caffeine and stimulants_: Avoid or reduce caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants that can trigger palpitations.

_Consult a Doctor_

1. _If palpitations persist or worsen_: If palpitations become more frequent, severe, or persistent, consult a doctor.
2. _If accompanied by other symptoms_: If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, seek medical attention immediately.

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach problems for the last two months, like cramps, abdominal pain, weird motions, mild fever, red eyes, and headaches. I first saw one gastro doctor who thought it was an infection and gave me some medications like Zifi, Satrogyl, and Nizonide. He wanted me to do a bunch of tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy, CT scans, and blood tests. I went to another senior gastro in Noida, and he said it's IBS and no need for all those tests. But then after his 10-day course, the issues came back, and he also blamed another infection. Now, it's been about 20 days since my stomach has been better, and I'm taking Menoctyl, Enzar Forte, and Vizylac. What's really bothering me is that I've lost 8-9 kg of weight despite eating enough lately, and my weight isn't going up. Is this normal? Should I stick with the same gastro since I'm finally feeling some relief? The weight loss is freaking me out a bit.

Question 3

My colonoscopy showed a bulging appendix orifice with a small tumor that hasn't grown in two years. Should I keep monitoring it or opt for surgery? I'm worried they might remove my ileocecal valve too since it's close by, and I'm not sure if the tumor is even harmful what's the best move here?
