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.

View allI'm really puzzled about my C-reactive protein levels. My latest test showed it at 7.5 mgL, and the lab says the normal range is up to 8 mgL. Converted, it's 0.75 mgdL. I've been doing regular check-ups, but some of the doctors on Practo are suggesting that my CRP level is high, and even recommending antibiotics. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my results or if the lab has a different standard. Why would doctors say my CRP is high? Is there a mistake?

I'm feeling really off with sweating and shivering, and it's like I can't control it. Then out of nowhere, I really need to go to the bathroom. My forehead feels like it's under a lot of pressure and I'm having difficulty breathing through my nose because it's all clogged up. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can get rid of these symptoms?
