I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing every evening; it feels like some sort of shortness of breath. I suspect it might be linked to acid reflux because when I manage to get rid of some gas, my breathing seems to return to normal. The feeling's pretty uncomfortable when the gas is there, and I'm starting to worry if there might be a lung issue going on. Could this be something related to my lungs, or is it really just about the reflux? Any guidance would be really appreciated.

View allI'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.

I'm having this really uncomfortable pain in my lower left abdomen, and it seems to be spreading to my back. It hurts even more when I'm sitting down, especially on the back side. I'm not sure why this is happening. Should I be worried about it? What could be causing this kind of pain?
Could be indicative of a kidney stone. I would recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the kidney stone. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
