I'm having a problem where I need to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times every morning, and it's not a complete bowel movement. This has been happening since I was born. Whenever I have to leave the house early, I take an Eldoper tablet to prevent more bathroom trips. I'm worried if taking Eldoper could seriously affect my liver. How should I handle this situation?

Tenting of the left diaphragm (Grade 1) is a mild abnormality that can be caused by:

Possible Causes

  1. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  2. Hiatal hernia
  3. Diaphragmatic eventration (a congenital condition)
  4. Abdominal muscle weakness

Effects and Symptoms

  1. Mild shortness of breath
  2. Chest discomfort or pain
  3. Difficulty swallowing
  4. Regurgitation of food

Relation to the Heart

Tenting of the diaphragm is not directly related to heart problems. However, in some cases, it can be associated with conditions that affect the heart, such as:

  1. Pericarditis (inflammation of the heart sac)
  2. Cardiac tamponade (fluid accumulation in the heart sac)

Next Steps

Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine the best course of action. They may recommend:

  1. Further imaging tests (e.g., CT scan, MRI)
  2. Endoscopy or gastroscopy
  3. Pulmonary function tests
  4. Monitoring and follow-up appointments

I'm looking at my recent blood test results and I'm a little worried. My SGOT AST levels are at 81, and the lab report says it should be between 15 and 37 UL. And then there's my SGPT ALT at 115, also higher than the usual 16 to 63 UL range. On top of that, my cholesterol's sitting at 210, which seems borderline high, and my triglycerides are 169. I'm really confused about what this all means for my health. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Do you think I need to make any lifestyle changes or consider treatment options?
