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?

I'm dealing with some stomach bloating after recovering from a stomach infection, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. Whenever I walk, especially in the evening, I notice this heaviness or mild difficulty in breathing. Plus, there's pressure and bloating in my upper abdomen. My oxygen levels seem fine while walking, ranging between 98 and 99, but I'm wondering if the breathing heaviness is related to the bloating. Could you shed some light on what's happening?
take tablet pantop once daily for 5 days, it will reduce bloating

A lymphocyte percentage of 46.6% is slightly elevated. The normal range is typically between 20-40%. Mild elevations can be caused by viral infections, stress, or fatigue. However, it's essential to consider your absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and other blood test results. Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine if further testing is needed. In most cases, a mildly elevated lymphocyte percentage is not a cause for concern.
