I'm really anxious about something that's been happening to me recently. A few days ago, I suddenly came down with a fever, which was really unusual because I haven't had a fever in a long time. What really worries me is that ever since that same evening, I've been struggling with shortness of breath. Yesterday, I went to see a doctor who ran some tests. My ECG and X-ray came out normal, but the Widal test showed I have typhoid, so now I'm in the hospital. It's been a day without a fever, but I still feel like I'm struggling to breathe, especially when I try to do even light physical activities. I found some stuff online that says having shortness of breath with typhoid could be a serious complication and usually happens around the third week of the illness. Can you shed some light on this for me? I'm kind of worried about what's going on.

An SGPT level of 73 is slightly elevated, while your SGOT level is within the normal range.
The SGOTSGPT ratio of 0.47 is lower than the typical range of 0.9-1.5, indicating potential liver stress.
However, since all other liver function tests (LFTs) are normal, the risk is relatively low.
Consult your doctor to discuss potential causes, such as fatty liver, medication side effects, or other factors.
Your doctor may recommend further tests, like ultrasound or liver biopsy, to assess liver health.
Regular monitoring of LFTs and addressing underlying causes can help mitigate potential risks.

I've been dealing with a really bad cold and cough lately, and my doctor told me to get a Haemogram blood test done. The results show a WBC count of 13100, which seems higher than normal. Could you help me understand what this might mean and what steps I should take next? I'm a bit worried.
