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 been dealing with a fatty liver, and just a couple of months ago, my SGPT levels were at 96. Now, thanks to medication, they've dropped to 63. But now I'm concerned because my direct bilirubin has gone up to 0.6, whereas it was normal before. Should I be worried about this change in bilirubin, and does it mean anything serious about my liver condition or overall health?
Your SGPT levels have improved with medication, but your direct bilirubin has increased. This could indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage. I recommend you continue with your current medication and also consider adding Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce bilirubin levels. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and further guidance.

I'm really worried because I've had gastritis since 1998, but these past two weeks have been different. I've been feeling this nagging burning sensation in my upper chest that spreads to my upper back and sometimes even to my arms. It gets worse when I'm lying down in bed, making it quite uncomfortable. I've tried taking some antacid tablets and they worked a bit, but the pain is still pretty intense and annoying. Could this be something more serious, or is there something else you'd recommend I do to get this under control?

Why do I feel like pooping but nothing comes out?
It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and rectal tenesmus due to intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, IBD, Hemorrhoids etc. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.
