I'm having my meals at 11am and 7pm, but I skip eating in the afternoon. Around 3pm, I start feeling like my food isn't completely digested, and I'm taking unienzyme tablets twice a day for it. Do you think it's okay for me to take the unienzyme a third time around 3pm to help with this?

break down your CBC (Complete Blood Count) results:
Results Analysis
- PDW (Platelet Distribution Width): 17.1 (Normal range: 10-17)
- Your PDW is slightly elevated, indicating a possible variation in platelet size.
- WBC (White Blood Cell) Count: 11.4 (Normal range: 4-9)
- Your WBC count is elevated, suggesting a possible infection, inflammation, or stress response.
- HCT (Hematocrit): 41.8 (Normal range: 34-38)
- Your HCT is slightly elevated, indicating a possible increase in red blood cell concentration.
Suggestions
- Consult your doctor: Discuss your results with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of these abnormalities.
- Infection or inflammation check: Your doctor may recommend further tests to check for underlying infections or inflammation.
- Stress management: Engage in stress-reducing activities, as stress can contribute to elevated WBC counts.
- Hydration: Ensure adequate hydration to help maintain healthy blood cell counts.
- Follow-up tests: Schedule follow-up tests to monitor your blood cell counts and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

I've been dealing with acidity for the past six months and I'm getting a bit worried. I've tried staying away from hot milk products like tea and coffee, and that seems to help a little. Whenever it's really bad, I take a PAN 40 tablet and mix some Eno in water. But sometimes I also have this chest pain, especially when I lie down. Are there any medications or lifestyle or food changes you'd suggest? Should I keep using PAN and Eno? Do they have any side effects I should know about?
avoid junk food ,take frequent small meals ,take food 2hrs before bed Time
