I'm pretty confused about my liver test results. My GGT level came back at 58. Does anyone know what that actually means? Is it considered normal, or should I be worried about it? Any insights would be really appreciated.

High levels of GGT in the blood could indicate that the enzyme is leaking out of the liver cells and into the blood. This may suggest that there is damage to the liver or bile ducts. GGT levels above 30 IUL in adults could indicate liver problems. High GGT levels can be caused by a number of conditions, including: Overuse of alcohol Chronic viral hepatitis Lack of blood flow to the liver Liver tumor Cirrhosis, or scarred liver Overuse of certain drugs or other toxins Heart failure Diabetes Pancreatitis Fatty liver disease so consult gastroenterologist for the same

Is it okay to exercise if I have a painful anal fissure? I found that working out helps relieve the pain a bit, but I'm worried about making the tear worse or experiencing more pain. Should I keep working out, or is it safer to stop until it heals?
pregnancy test with two lines, one faint, is generally considered a *positive result*. Here's why: 1. *Two lines indicate pregnancy*: Even if one line is faint, the presence of two lines suggests that the test has detected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. 2. *Faint line may indicate low hCG*: A faint second line can be a sign of low hCG levels, which is common in early pregnancy. 3. *Test sensitivity*: Different pregnancy tests have varying levels of sensitivity. A faint line may be more noticeable on a more sensitive test. To confirm your result: 1. *Retake the test*: Try another pregnancy test, preferably with a more sensitive brand, to confirm the result. 2. *Wait a few days*: If you're testing too early, wait a few days and try again. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: If you're still unsure or have concerns, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

I was just diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease last week and I'm dealing with this burning pain on the left side of my back around the breastbone and I'm also having shortness of breath. The doctor said it's GERD and I'm on medication, which is helping, but I'm still facing this breathing issue. Every 10 minutes or so, I feel like I need to take a deep breath or else there's this pressure and tightness in my chest. My blood tests came back normal with an HB of 13. Why do I feel like taking a deep breath every 10 minutes? Could you suggest any breathing exercises or regular exercises that might help with this?
yes go ahead
