I'm really concerned about this constant feeling of something pulling in the middle of my stomach between my ribs, and it's paired with heavy breathing. It's been happening for about three months now. I've had tests like Troponin, Stress Echo, X-ray of my chest and lungs, and an ultrasound, and everything came back normal. I've consulted a cardiologist, pulmonologist, and radiologist, but nothing seems to help. A bit of my background: Ive been taking Tolol XR25 for high blood pressure for a few years now and tried gastritis medicine like PanD for the past month, as suggested by my doctor, but it didnt work. My blood and urine tests are mostly normal except for a few things my Bilirubin is 1.99 mgdL, Vitamin D is 55 nmolL, Vitamin B12 is 177 pgmL, Apo A1 is 95 mgdL, and Apo B is 37 mgdL. Sometimes my hands shake, and I feel really lethargic all day, with heavy, labored breathing. I'm constantly aware of my stomach because of this. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've recently had a routine checkup and my SGPT is 146 ul and SGOT is 56 ul. Plus, my cholesterol is a bit high at 210. It's the first time my SGPT and SGOT levels have been high, and I don't drink alcohol. Should I go back for more tests, or maybe stick to a suggested diet for a couple of months before seeing a doctor? What would you recommend?

Is it possible that my liver might be damaged? How can I bring it back to a normal range? I'm not someone who drinks alcohol, but I have put on some weight since getting married about a year and a half ago. I'm feeling a bit anxious about this. Can you help me out?

-It's understandable to be concerned, but liver enzyme levels can rise due to various factors, including weight gain. Since you're not an alcoholic, focus on adopting a healthy diet, exercising, and managing your weight. It's always a good idea to follow

I've had the ARMS procedure for GERD and acidity, but I still get constant burping. If I try to hold in a burp, I end up vomiting right away. Is there any permanent solution for this, maybe even surgery or another treatment? It's really affecting my daily life.

Persistent burping after ARMS may be due to altered gastric motility‚Äîfurther testing like manometry or fundoplication revision may help; consult a GI motility specialist.
